Four Tenets of PARTnerships
Increase self-expression
Breakdown stereotypes and myths
Provide income opportunities
Add beauty to the world
PARTnerships incorporates art as a therapy and a means of communication for adults with developmental disabilities. The program also offers individuals the opportunity to exhibit and showcase their art in various community venues and to sell their work to community members. The benefit is two-fold. The individual has the opportunity to become a taxpayer and community members who view or purchase the art work expand their knowledge of developmental disabilities.
