LIVE ART is a groundbreaking new educational program for students of all abilities (with and without disabilities), culminating with a major public concert featuring these students and prominent headlining musicians. Classes have already begun for 2013, and the next LIVE ART concert event is Sunday, December 22, 2013 -- so save the date!

As a unique, multi-disciplinary, inclusive educational program, LIVE ART is building relationships among arts organizations, educators and artists to expand arts opportunities for students with developmental disabilities and typically developing students alike. LIVE ART is at the leading edge of arts education, integrating performing arts curriculum with special education to create a major performance event.

There is lots more information on this site to help you understand LIVE ART. Our purpose on this page is to help you FEEL IT.
