Supporting the Art of Elysium

A talent acquisition professional based in Massachusetts, Teri Gonzaga Barroso serves as the People Strategy and Operations Manager at Tamr. Outside of work, Teri Barroso supports a variety of organizations, including Art of Elysium, an organization that was founded in 1997 to support individuals facing such challenges as confinement, hospitalization, and illness.

To continue offering more than 100 community programs, Art of Elysium relies heavily on volunteers. These individuals work in the organization’s visual arts, fashion, design, film and theater, music, and movement programs. Each program offered by the Art of Elysium is designed to provide support to people going through a difficult emotional challenge. Along with promoting development opportunities, the programs available at the organization encourage socialization, improve self-awareness, and inspire artists to use their creativity to help others.

All volunteer artists with the Art of Elysium must be over the age of 18. They are required to complete a one-time orientation that focuses on helping them gain the support and education they need to serve the various communities that the organization works with.

Individuals who want to support the Art of Elysium but are unable to volunteer can donate to the organization. They can donate a one-time amount of their choosing, make a monthly contribution, or give in the name of a friend or family member.
