This program provides on-site art classes for mentally challenged adults. Working with a facility's volunteers and staff, experienced teachers like Lolita Demers, one of the Brush’s resident artists and a long-time art teacher in the Lowell Public Schools, will design and deliver workshops specially geared for mentally challenged adults. The one and a half hour weekend workshops include about 15 participants who create artwork in a variety of media. These classes include glass-painting, collage, birdhouse making, large, group-created murals, and many other projects. They are both fun and challenging for the students.

We are proud to provide art classes at the Brush Art Gallery & Studios to organizations like TILL -- Toward Independent Living and Learning (www.tillinc.org).

RARA --Remarkable Active Resilient Adults (www.raraagency.org). Founded in 1968, RARA's main mission is to promote public awareness and understanding of the needs and issues specific to the developmentally delayed and their families. Through their Day and Evening/Weekend Programs, they are a resource of services providing accessibility to social, recreation, education and pre-vocational opportunities to their clients and respite for their families.
