Building Strong Communities – The Unfiltered Art Experience

Facilitating Fine Arts classes for peers with mental & physical disabilities. We also offer special tailored art classes for medically fragile participants. Their barriers to learning are many and varied, ranging from Angelman’s syndrome, to Autism, leukodystrophy or cerebral palsy. This program will create a sense of belonging and place to the ones we serve. We are committed to providing access to the arts for traditionally undeserved artists and constituents, including people of color, people with disabilities, children, people living in rural communities or isolated settings. We also offer special tailored art classes for medically fragile participants. This Program enriches many lives through active art-making, creative learning and socializing. We embrace the concept of providing services to people with disabilities without separating them from the community.  All our facilitating artists and students are living with disabilities. Most participants are living in rural communities or isolated settings. We train art students to become socially & emotionally competent. Most of our students have never been given a chance before to use their emotional intelligence and qualifications.
