Art for Inclusion
Artist PALS & Accessible Art Workshops
I believe art is for ALL.
Rooted in a foundation of art therapy and adaptive practice, Art for Inclusion offers inclusive programing designed for individuals of all abilities. Whether managing a developmental or physical disability, a learning difference, or a disability acquired later in life—I provide accessible and affirming art experiences.
We provide the tools and artistic direction to make art that reflects each attendee’s creative voice and their colorful storyline—in their way, with the right adaptive tools. Caregivers and family members are also welcome.
Artist PALS (People of All Learning Styles) - A small group Art Therapy Experience for adults of all learning types and abilities. This 4-5 week project based group is focused on social interaction, artistic exploration, and self-expression. Artist PALS will be offered online in the new year!
