Description:
Facilitated by local artists, participants enjoy weekly art sessions. Instructors use many techniques (painting, pencil, markers, etc.) to enhance each student’s level of creativity. The facilitator’s encouragement, experience, and individual instruction always meet the student’s needs.
"The smiles and laughter during the classes, and the ride each student shows while their work is shared with caregivers and fellow classmates says it all. This program is “a ray of sunshine” for everyone connected with the program."
