Both experienced and beginner artists, musicians and dancers are invited to attend these programs. We are encouraging siblings to attend as well, but first priority will be given to all creative persons with special needs.

 

Please note: For the Fine Arts Program a care provider / parent / guardian must attend with the artist for the entire program if a one-to-one is required during school. This allows us to offer up a wide range of projects.
