Who We Are

ArtStream programs are open to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including autism. Through collaborative performance and lifelong learning opportunities, our students gain the skills and confidence to engage with the world. We believe that when people make their own choices and are engaged, stimulated, challenged, and inspired they surpass both their own and others' expectations. Our vision is to build a world where everyone can perform their art out!
