Art Beyond Boundaries will also be sponsoring and/or hosting arts programs for children of all abilities to introduce them to art and further explore their artistic talents. Programs touch on all art forms, such as theater, music, and visual art.
In August 2005, in cooperation with The Greater Cincinnati Foundation and the Cincinnati Recreation Commission, we sponsored, "Friends of all Shapes and Sizes", an inclusive theater workshop for teens, aged 13 to 16 with and without disabilities. With the guidance of an experienced theater director the teens wrote, created and showcased an ensemble theater production. The production focused on friendship, which taught social skills using a fun approach, provided an opportunity to foster friendships with peers without disabilities, and worked toward our mission of breaking down physical and programmatic barriers.
