This past year ACAC was pleased to begin Art For All, a grant-funded inclusion program for children with and without special needs.  This is an opportunity for young people to work with clay and express themselves in a creative environment that respects the unique circumstances of all children, with and without special needs. 

Art For All is taught with two art teachers (experienced both in the art classroom and in working with special needs children), a certified occupational therapist and additional volunteers so that each child gets the full attention that he/she needs.  Grants awarded from The Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts, the Art Angels and Bank of America are funding the program in 2007.

The spring 2008 session will begin in April. Please stay tuned for exact dates and details. Because the program is primarily funded by grants, we are able to offer this class to students at a minimal fee of $50 per student. For more information, please contact us.
