WITHIN MY REACH!

These unique programs teach Life Skills through the Arts. Art and Enterprise is combined in a range of ARTreach Programs offered at the ARTreach STUDIO or on site at community day care programs, schools and learning centers.

Rhythm Journey

Rhythm Journey is a powerful experience of rhythmic collaboration through which students explore self awareness and self expression. Professionally facilitated by Dan Egger-Belandria. Dan uses call and response techniques to develop the group’s drumming vocabulary while emphasizing key learning points around team and relationship building. This is a hands-on approach to breaking down barriers within a group to create a shared vision that is fun and rewarding! This ARTreach Program is available in English and Spanish.

ART- The Universal Language

This program supports special needs population, ESL and refugee children and adults unable to speak English, and unfamiliar with the American culture. ARTreach teaching artists are helping participants face the challenging acculturation process by combining cultural art lesson, music and dance with homework, reading, and writing lessons.

Holiday Workshops

Vocational ART Workshops for adults with special needs

ARTreach create opportunities for children and adults with cognitive, intellectual, and developmental disabilities to be a participating and respected member of our community. Art activities, music and dance are stimulating and enriching and can help a person achieve the full extent of their ability and to grow in mind, body, and spirit.
