Studio culture
Our visual arts program is built on the principle that every participant is an artist. Projects are adapted to each participant’s physical and cognitive abilities. Larger brushes, built-up grips and table-top easels keep materials accessible. A rotating staff of arts instructors provides both structured lessons and open-studio time.
Each spring and fall, we host a participant art exhibition where every artist shares a finished piece. Family members and community members are invited to view and celebrate the work.
