With support from the California Arts Council, the Friends of the Arts will provide art workshops and open studio spaces at no cost to disabled and neurodiverse adults in Orange County, California. A program with two parts, this program will provide art workshops for individuals with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s or dementia, and sensory-safe open studios for neurodiverse and/or disabled adults. These offerings are rooted in respect while uplifting the autonomy and self-directed creative process of participants. Provided in safe environments, participants are free to explore artistic self-expression while enjoying being in community with others.
