Art Over Destruction® (AOD)

Art Over Destruction (AOD) is a nonprofit cultural program founded by BASHA that applies structured creative practice to youth development and mental health.

Operating nationally since 2012, AOD delivers low-pressure, regulation-first creative environments through partnerships with schools, hospitals, and public institutions. The program emphasizes focus, agency, and emotional stabilization before crisis.

AOD operates independently as a 501(c)(3) and serves as the public-service and educational arm of BASHA’s broader cultural practice.
