IDAHO — Idaho Parents Unlimited's Art Education program, in partnership with the Idaho Anti-Trafficking Coalition, expanded to Juvenile Detention Centers in Idaho.
The art program, led by Idaho Parents Unlimited Art Coordinator Heather Kirk Skinner, provides education in schools statewide for kids with disabilities to ensure art inclusion for all youth.
For seven to eight weeks, a local artist teaches various art techniques to different groups of youth at Nampa's Juvenile Detention Center and Southwest Idaho Juvenile Detention Center.
"It gives the kids a way to express themselves in a way that isn't possible with just words," said local artist Heather Bee. "You know when you are looking at a piece of art, you can't necessarily describe everything that is going on in there, but it certainly brings emotions and responses."
