Great!
Great!

The Arts of Life in Glenview is a studio that artists with all abilities can come together to create art. Each artist has their own style of art. Some of the artists need adapted tools like thicker paint brushes the staff and volunteers are great to help them out. Once a month their a studio meeting the community come to together talk about events they had or the events coming up, or anything have to do with how the studio is run. The studio have a band called van Go Go. the band recorded a c d title Van Go Go.
I am an artist and their archiver. The staff is super helpful in adapting ways making my job easier

To say that Arts of Life is a great model of employment and community for individuals with disabilities is an understatement. As soon as you walk through the door, you realize that this is not just another program. Arts of Life is an artist's studio that combines vocational purpose with life skills and relationship development. The Executive Director, Denise Fisher, has vision, compassion and creativity. She has helped to create a unique and purposeful art community that is individualized. The studio is respectful of needs and differences. We, who live in the northern suburbs, are excited about the prospects of Arts of Life, North. I highly recommend that you check out Arts of Life for a loved one who happens to have a disability who loves art, or perhaps as a place to volunteer your time.
