Program founded in 1995
Art Access believes that teens can find a sense of community, develop transferable and long-lasting life skills, and flourish in the nurturing, creative, and productive environment. Our workshops are taught by professional artists and teens work alongside their peers who are also passionate about making art. These are the only visual arts workshops in the Salt Lake City area specifically designed with the needs and abilities of ALL teens in mind. Five two-day workshops are offered annually in June and July.
"The first thing he said as we were leaving (the workshop) was 'When do I get to come back for the next class?' That is a lot coming from (him)." - Father of Teen Workshop participant who rarely speaks.
Art Access serves a diverse clientele. Chronological and cognitive ages are taken into consideration upon registration of any participant, as well as individual adaptive needs. Email to learn more or to request specific accessibility services.
