The Art Garage has successfully collaborated with schools, disability organizations, behavioral health partners, residential treatment centers and day habilitation programs. Workshops are conducted in a safe and nonjudgmental environment on site at our studio or at a partner location, encouraging exploration and experimentation of art materials and the discovery of one’s unique visual language with the intention of improving self-esteem, identity and personal transformation through creative self- expression. Activities vary per each partner depending on their clients needs. The program runs year-round and varies in duration depending on the partner organization. **If you are part of an organization that would like to partner with The Art Garage in developing programming, please fill out this** [Community Programming Form ](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSflyjOmDQd-uYvkG4_UURAVvY6_vKUofORnPYu8DyljNJWPvw/viewform?usp=sf_link) **and we will be in touch as soon as possible!** **If you would like to have The Art Garage at your event, please fill out our **[**Event Form**](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdWB9vfmJwdUpLy_uqeW8gZhFMFC4x45v-pQ5hngg-7d4rpDg/viewform?usp=sf_link)**.
