With support from the California Arts Council, Hope Center for the Arts (HOPE) will provide vital visual, performing and creative arts therapies, life enrichment, and pre-vocational arts instruction to its participants of Adults with Intellectual Disabilities through both onsite studios and classrooms and online modes.
Hope Center for the Arts is a private nonprofit, providing direct, pre-vocational arts and therapeutic services to individuals ages 22 and above with intellectual disabilities, with an interest in the Arts.
At Hope we believe that disAbility is a social construct to isolate the different. This construct serves to deny the disAbled social connection, access to justice, fair employment and inclusion. HOPE began in 1979. It has upheld the highest level of respect and programming for Artists/Performers of all levels and abilities since its inception, serving our most vulnerable and practicing community integration. HOPE offers a rich selection of Visual and Performing Arts studios along with therapeutic, academic and life enrichment enhancement courses. We also provide a cultivated Arts staff who are contemporary, working Artists and Musicians, most with advanced degrees.
