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 fall programs closes Sunday, September 1.
RegisterFor 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.
Make a masterpiece or a mess-terpiece using mixed media and your imagination as you explore various art forms. Creativity will know no bounds with painting, drawing and sculpture in a sensory-rich and energetic environment.

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.
