About The Program
Welcome to our innovative Art and Education Program, a refreshing alternative to traditional dayhab programs for individuals with IDD. At our core, we are dedicated to creating an empowering environment that fosters independence through a diverse range of expressive lessons and community classrooms.
The Art and Education Program is a place where our expert instructors are dedicated to guiding students on a journey of self-discovery and expression. Our mission is to promote client-directed goals, self-determination, social skills, and instill a sense of independence and pride in each participant.
Every day, we actively bridge the gap in post-secondary education support for the I/DD community and their families. Our instructors are passionate about creating an environment that encourages growth and support. We focus on a range of elements, including student choice activities, empowering environments, and immersive community learning experiences, all designed to uplift and empower our students.
Through our Art and Education program, we provide a variety of enriching opportunities for individuals with IDD to explore their passions, express themselves, and find their community. This program goes beyond our three campuses, extending to dynamic gallery sales and a unique online store. Every participant has the chance to shine, whether by showcasing their art in one of our gallery events or becoming an Arc Ambassador, with their artwork featured on merchandise that helps create a more inclusive world.
Together, we celebrate individuality and empower artists to share their voices with the community and beyond. Click to learn more about each pillar of support offered through the Art and Education Program.
