The Southside Art Center offers a multitude of choices for individuals with developmental disabilities in the program. The classes represent a diversification of the typical art program, by providing opportunities for both art and non-art experiences. The mission of St. Madeline Sophie's Center is to assist adults with developmental disabilities in realizing, discovering, and experiencing their unique potential. The center serves more than 200 developmentally disabled adults ranging in age from 22 to 66. They come from a variety of ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds.
Adults can choose from four program offered at the center, one of which is art classes.
The Enrichment Center is an arts-based program which serves adults with developmental disabilities. Instruction by professional artists allows participants to earn money through the sale of visual art, published poetry, and tickets for performances. The Little City Foundation Art Center serves children and adults with developmental disabilities. The center hosts both visual and media arts programs. The media arts program produces a cable access show, supports individual video projects, and collaborates with local performance companies.
