Adding Value and Worth to People with Low Self-Esteem
Persevering Through the Storms of Life
Maximizing Your Gifts and Talents

ARTreach offers motivational outreach programs facilitated by Chad and Vickie McMillan.  Chad uses humor, personal illustrations, and hard-hitting truth in a passionate and high-energy presentation that captivates and inspires his audience.  While he speaks, Vickie paints an original acrylic work of art on canvas. On stage, she creates a painting that will fascinate the audience as they see the image emerge as inspired by the theme of Chad’s message. At the conclusion of the talk, Chad introduces Vickie who describes the meaning of the painting and then presents the work to the school or organization as a gift.  The McMillan’s have conducted this program in the Philippines, Mexico, Uganda, South Africa, and America, the combination of Chad’s speaking and Vickie’s painting are always well-received.
