This document summarizes an art program run by UCP of Central California that provides opportunities for students with disabilities to create and sell art. The program aims to promote inclusion and independence while breaking down stereotypes associated with disabilities. Students have seen positive changes in abilities and confidence from participating. Artworks are for sale with proceeds going directly to student artists.

What We
Do
At UCP we promote inclusion, access, independence, and opportunities
for community engagement and life‐enhancing programs. We provide an
opportunity for our students to share their talents and skills with the
community through our art program.
How it Helps
Our students have seen positive change in physical abilities and mental
stimulation; they are increasing their mobility, gaining confidence,
becoming teachers and advocates, and increasing their social sphere.
Our Goal
The goal is to showcase our student artists while breaking down
stereotypes often associated with those with disabilities.
Styles of Art
Art is available for purchase with a commission going directly to each
student artist. For many, the sale of their art enables them to receive the
only paycheck they receive.
