Creativity! 🌱

Thank you to the Connecticut Community Foundation for supporting inclusive, sustainable arts programming

This week in our Art of Engagement program participants created Party Shakers from recycled paper towel rolls! ♻️🥳 Using simple materials that might normally be thrown away, everyone decorated their own shaker and filled it with fun sounds to celebrate creativity and sustainability.

We are grateful for the opportunity to combine artistic expression with environmentally friendly practices while building confidence, creativity, and joy.

Our artists had a great time designing colorful shakers and making music together! 🎶

Every single one of us experiences the world in our own unique way. Some people need more time. Some need information presented differently. Some communicate with words, some with actions, some with expressions. But at the heart of it, we all want the same things — to be understood, respected, included, and valued.
