Living with Art — Holiday Social
This December, join us to celebrate the past year with a creative social session. In partnership with Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, we will meet at the Kortright Centre, explore the grounds, create holiday cards and celebrate friendships! Participants are encouraged to bring their favourite artworks from the past year to share with their peers in an exhibition-style celebration.
About the Program
The Living with Art program is a studio-based series of three-hour-long classes developed for young adults (aged 18 and older) living with Autism Spectrum Disorder and/or other exceptionalities. The program provides an opportunity for the participants to view and create art while socializing in a safe and inclusive environment. The program is offered on scheduled dates for individuals. Organized groups are welcome to book a session for up to 15 participants.
