The basis for all the Art Programs is an established process or method which enables disabled individuals to express themselves through art. Our Facilitators bring unique talents and expertise in their area of art, but they conduct the art sessions with a neutrality to ensure that the result is truly the work of the artist.

• Painting: Artists choose their own colors, quantities, textures, consistencies, shapes, etc. using acrylic paint on canvas. Some artists have stretched the boundaries of painting by incorporating and attaching other materials to the canvas.

• Digital: Applying the same principles as painting, the Digital Art program lets the artist express themselves using the computer. Some artists start out with a scanned photo and others start with lines and shapes. The computer adds the flexibility of experimentation and the option of undoing and saving multiple versions of a piece.

• Sculpture: The artists use materials such as foam core, cardboard and styrofoam in the design and construction of their art. Some participants have chosen to experiment with unique items such as colored glass, wood, and even kitchen utensils.

• Dance: As with the other programs, the goal here is to allow the participants with disabilities to express themselves fully through art, in this case, the art of dance. This program brings together disabled and able-bodied dancers for expression through dance.

• Drama: Participants have the opportunity to explore the world of acting from a variety of perspectives. They are exposed to theatre, lectures and films, and participate in conversations and discussions with professionals in the dramatic arts. Topics include acting, actors, plays, playwrights, and drama history.

• Creative Writing: This program allows expression through the written language. Facilitators type poems, stories, and manuscripts for the authors.

• Visual Odyssey: Visual Odyssey is an exciting technology-based program that explores the medium of videography, photography, or computer generated art. Through this program the artist is able to capture images from life and transform them to his or her vision.
