We Are Artists
GOAL: To enhance the lives of adults with developmental disabilities through art.
Art workshop series for members of the Santa Cruz Training Programs. Workshops occur monthly at the Santa Fe Ranch and Arts Center locations.
Each year our artists here at the Patagonia Creative Arts Association partner with The Santa Cruz Training Programs and The Santa Fe Ranch to deliver a series of engaging monthly workshops. This project empowers participants to realize their potential as artists, provides meaningful participation through hands-on experiences, and culminate in an exhibition to connect people with disabilities with the larger Santa Cruz County community.
