The TAP
The TAP hosts a performance stage for spoken word, karaoke, and live music. Our friends have often never had a chance to be welcomed to a stage, where they are celebrated for their unique talents, and cheered for their courage in availing themselves in a public venue.The TAP also offers opportunities for artists in our community who create works of art in a variety of mediums. Our friends paint, sculpt, sketch, knit, fashion jewelry, and more. They're encouraged to exhibit and sell their artwork at our events and we supply them with everything they need to display their works, at no cost. All our events are always free to the public and open to all.
$15,000 the first year and $15,000 the second year are for a grant to The TAP in St. Paul to support mental health in disability communities through spoken art forms, community supports, and community engagement.
Quantitative Outcome: We will increase the material participation and community engagement of new and returning attendees by 40% year-over-year through fostering a non-judgmental and inclusive environment where participants are valued and acknowledged for who they are, not what labels they may hold.
