You are invited to participate in the ART THINK TANK- people interested in collaborative arts projects - working alongside people with developmental disabilities. Through this blog we will follow the work of ART THINK TANKERS and Art Consultant, Patty Mitchell- she will share the projects she is working on and moderate this online forum for discussion.
The idea: To share, dream and make happen art ideas that bring people with and without developmental disabilities together. This blog is designed to encourage your pioneering spirit and support your efforts in bringing the arts into your community. By making opportunities available and working through the imagination, abilities and beauty demonstrated by people with developmental disabilities- you can make incredible things happen.
