In The Arc’s Art & Education Program, clients with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) explore artistic mediums and create artwork that is professionally shown and sold at art shows, local businesses, and online.
Visit the Storefront to purchase unique artwork created by the artists of The Arc!
Our professional instructors help students to find an artistic means to best express themselves, promoting client-directed goals, self-determination, social skills, increase employment skills and gaining a sense of independence and pride! We daily bridge the gap of post-secondary education support for the I/DD community and their families.
