The Big Idea
Upstream Arts provides multidisciplinary arts activities to individuals of all ages who have disabilities. The programming, led by specially trained teams of local professional artists, develops the participants’ social/emotional and communication skills. Upstream Arts believes the creative process is a pathway to community solutions, a nurturing ground for building cross-sector relationships and a framework for a future where all individuals—regardless of ability—engage in all aspects of society.
