We
have long dreamed of a space where we could provide accessible arts programming
for children in the metropolitan area. As part of our mission of training
and development, we also wanted a place where we could offer inclusive arts
classes for children of all abilities that could be observed by professionals,
educators, parents and other caregivers. The
After-School Arts Club was started in the fall of 2003 for interested students
at the Kansas State School for the Blind. Thanks to a grant from the Junior
League of Kansas City, Missouri, additional artist consultants will allow
us to expand our program to the larger community. Professional artists will
engage children of all abilities in a variety of arts projects. The children
will be provided with a safe and supportive environment in which to explore
their interests and abilities while obtaining new skills and knowledge.| Ages 9-18 | |
