Welcome to Blank Canvas Studios day program web page! The goal of our studio is to provide individuals labeled developmentally disabled with the tools and materials to create art and the supports to define themselves as artists. We work for artists with a range of disabilities, in particular people whose challenging behavior or health issues made them poor fits with more traditional day services. Blank Canvas Studio day program welcomes input from volunteers, artists, and galleries. Private viewing by appointment.
Individuals who participate in the art workshop are considered professional artists and have the opportunity to show and sell their work in our gallery and in the local community. They are supported by a team of trained artists that strive to integrate our studio into the larger art community. We encourage the involvement of local artists and patrons.

Visual Art
Each artist is given opportunities to creatively express themselves through many mediums. These artists will be working closely with professionals who have knowledge in painting, sculpting, graphic design, illustration and drawing, for example.
Photography and Video
Our goal is to encourage self-exploration through the mediums of photography and video. Each artist will explore their surrounding environment and community through journaling their ideas and creating visual concepts with the use of cameras. We will be working with film and digital cameras as well as video.
Music
With the help from our multi-talented studio staff, each artist will have the chance to tap into their hidden potential by finding their strengths in the area of music. Each artist will have the chance to create their own CD utilizing a variety of instruments. Our music studio staff have had professional and experiential training in the world of music!
Community
Our artists are encouraged to explore their community by taking trips to local museums, parks, concerts, shopping for supplies, and participating in volunteer opportunities. We also provide opportunities for 1:1 outings per request, and a variety of daily group activities, including art, gardening, music and movement.
