Adaptive Art: Experience the creativity
Adults with Developmental Disabilities Create Artwork that Educates the Community About the Abilities of People with Disabilities
A
rtist Market sponsor L.A. GOAL is a nonprofit agency that provides independent living skills programs and services for adults with developmental disabilities. Inside Out Productions, L.A. GOAL's professional art studio and social enterprise, launched in 1994 to give adults with developmental disabilities a means of creative expression and employment. Using professional working artists as instructors, the program quickly grew into a commercial art venture teaching art theory, drawing, painting with acrylics and watercolor, woodblock, sewing, quilting, embroidery, weaving and working with multi-media techniques. In December 2017 Inside Out Productions will begin Phase I renovations of their art studio, which will allow for increased accessibility both to more artists and outside community members for integrated art classes. Inside Out Productions currently employs 23 part-time artists with developmental disabilities, and provides art instruction to an additional 40 L.A. GOAL Members.
