Living with Art: Holiday Social

Accessible Program for Adults Living with Exceptionalities

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.

HOLIDAY SOCIAL

Celebrate a year of creativity and connection at this special winter gathering! We’ll explore the McMichael’s galleries and grounds, discovering inspiration in art and nature. Back in the studio we will use our findings to create a personal painting inspired by what the McMichael means to us! Participants are encouraged to bring their favourite artworks from the past year to share with their peers in an exhibition-style celebration.
