ACHF Arts Access
Enrich participants' lives by experiencing the joys of creating and performing through the mediums of music, movement and story-telling. Barriers to participation will be identified and adaptations made so that learners can succeed in creating and performing art. 2: Learners will develop holistically, as art becomes a vehicle for expanded emotional/social wellbeing, physical and artistic/cognitive functioning. Evaluation is through observations by artists and staff identifying emotional/social, physical and artistic/cognitive functioning. Regular meetings will review individual mastery and participation.
