In the Spring of 2015, the Brookline Arts Center (BAC) developed, in conjunction with the Autism Higher Education Foundation (AHEF), a unique program serving young adults with Autism and related disabilities ages 18-22. The program began in the fall of 2015. It offers two separate weekly classes (9-week session), limited to 5 students each, and explore drawing, painting, and mixed media. Goals for each student are developed individually and based on each student’s interests, learning style, and experience with art. The program focuses on building skills, techniques, vocabulary and personal expression using a variety of mediums. The overarching goal is to support each students’ lifelong engagement and enjoyment in the arts.
