As a result of this program, a group of 30 participants with Intellectual Developmental Disabilities and pervasive mental illness will experience an increase in confidence in their own ability to create and share their art with the community. At least 10 of the artists will choose to pursue additional training in Theater arts or Visual arts and will choose to display and or sell their art in community settings. The ability to see art as a vocation will create opportunities they didn't see before Evaluation methods include a form that will be filled out by staff, guest artist and volunteers that will be administered during and after the art activity to measure growth of each individual in our group of IDD/PMI adult particpants.
