The Creative Arts at Monarch
The creative arts play an important part in support for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and mental illness and substance use disorders. Monarch uses creative arts programming in formal therapeutic settings and in informal ways to encourage expression and engagement.
For individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, visual arts offer opportunities for therapy, recreation, communication, connection, inclusion and self-expression. Through the experience of creating art, the people we support learn and refine new skills and there is a true sense of ownership and personal accomplishment as art projects are finished and on display.
