ArtMix Provides:
adaptive equipment and trained Teaching Artists skilled in adapting arts lessons for people of all abilities;
a focus on participant abilities rather than their disabilities;
ongoing programs for people with disabilities;
inclusive arts programs that encourage people of all abilities to create together.
For many of the people we serve, ArtMix studios and programs provide a friendly, safe, and welcoming place.
For people with disabilities, both our physical location and our programs create a place to belong, where they are accepted and valued.
Because people with disabilities face barriers daily, this sense of belonging is crucial and informs who we are.
