A+ ART Program

Description:

A+ART is a free, museum-based arts program that serves teens and young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder and with other special needs. The curriculum for A+ART follows a unique theme every week and includes, but is not limited to, looking at and discussing original artworks in the galleries, sketching, related art-making, group discussion, centering exercises, and group share time/celebrations at the end of every class.
