Arts Unite Us provides opportunities for students with different learning styles to share their creative voices and bring people of all abilities together through the arts. Programs include tailored residencies that engage students in Special Day Classrooms in visual and performing arts collaborative projects.
Youth in Arts has a long commitment to providing arts learning opportunities for youth of all abilities. For decades we have been the only consistent arts provider in Marin County’s Special Day Classrooms (SDCs).
In 2008, we launched Arts Unite Us to combat isolation for students with disabilities. This program celebrates how the arts provide an accessible way for children to share their creative voices.
Our Mentor Artists adapt lessons for diverse abilities and behavioral needs, helping students meet IEP goals across motor skills, communication, social-emotional growth, and more. Through art, students of all abilities explore, create, and grow.
