Elmhurst, Inc. Art Program!
Our mission at Elmhurst, Inc. is to encourage independence and to support responsible decision making by people with developmental disabilities and/or mental illness in the mid coast area. As part of our efforts to reach these goals, we are in the process of implementing an art program for our consumers. Its purpose will be to provide opportunities for individuals who choose to explore and express their creativity through artistic means.
Artists will be exposed to a variety of media. Painting, sculpture, jewelry making, quilting, photography, basket weaving and pottery will be among the available options open to the consumers. Works will be displayed at the studio and various locations in the community. Additionally, we hope to find art galleries willing to showcase these pieces. In order to help facilitate the creative process, we will utilize a number of volunteer and paid staff to work with consumers on an individual basis when needed. Featured artists will also be invited as guests to the studio
