Keshet’s art programs are the perfect avenue for people with disabilities to express themselves in new ways while boosting their self-esteem in the process. We explore all different kinds of art programs, giving participants an opportunity to try new things and discover new interests.
Registration for spring closes on Friday, February, 27.
For those who have a difficult time communicating verbally, visual arts provides a safe space to express their thoughts and feelings. This can lead to reduced levels of stress and anxiety.
Whether it’s finishing a project, tasting a new recipe or performing onstage, these accomplishments are a big deal! Keshet’s art programs help instill confidence, self-esteem and pride.
Keshet’s art programs are not strictly drawing and painting. With classes in mixed media, music, drama, cooking and more, there is something for all ages, interests and abilities.
Use creativity and imagination as tools for growth in this therapist-led group with Amanda Jacobson. Through role play, storytelling and interactive activities, participants will explore emotions, practice communication and build confidence in a supportive setting.

Keshet Arts programs are open to people of all ages and abilities. To find out if our programs are a good fit for you, please contact Alex Pomerantz, Director of Recreation & Camp, at 847.656.3411.
We are looking for volunteers (6th grade and older) to be part of Keshet’s Inclusive Choir. As a volunteer, you’ll be paired with a Keshet participant and sing alongside them during practices and performances. While there is no fee for being a volunteer, you do need to apply.
Need-based fee assistance is available for Keshet art programs. Families will indicate their interest in receiving assistance when they register online. Our team will then be in touch with you about next steps. Contact Katherine at 847.205.1234 for more information.
