DAY PROGRAM CALENDAR AND MENU SEPTEMBER 2019

FANTASTIC PARTICIPANT ART SHOW

On August 27th we hosted an Art Show at Amazing Place, featuring selected artwork from our Day Program participants. It was such an honor to showcase their amazing work in front of a record-breaking crowd of friends, families, and visitors. We are very grateful for the stellar group of volunteers and staff who lead our robust Art Program at Amazing Place. Through our program, participants have an opportunity to express themselves in watercolor painting, acrylic painting, and mixed media projects. Thank you to everyone who made our Participant Art Show a success! We are filled with joy that so many had an opportunity to celebrate our talented artists!
