LIFT & RISE: Art Explosion Lab
LIFT & RISE events are for children ages 5-12 with intellectual and developmental disabilities; no prior group experience necessary. Registration for each event closes the Sunday before the event at 6:00 pm.
We are combining LIFT & RISE into one group in order to facilitate friendships, offer activities for children 5-12 more frequently, and provide more opportunities to practice social skills and learn through play. LIFT & RISE are play- and experience-based, structured programs where children explore confidence, friendships, and early independence in a safe and supportive environment. Sessions run 90 minutes. Participation is encouraged, not forced.
Participants will dive into expressive, hands-on art experiences including splatter painting, texture collages, and partner art projects. Participants will explore color, materials, and creativity while engaging alongside peers in a relaxed, sensory-friendly environment that encourages self-expression and shared experiences.
