about many colors arts collective
We are a safe place for creative expression for adults with special needs.
Our Mission
For differently abled adults in Montgomery and surrounding counties, Many Colors Arts Collective is a place to lose themselves in the joy and exploration of the arts and to find themselves in the loving company of friends and mentors.
Our Vision
To create a joy-filled community of regularly and differently-abled artists in a safe and beautiful environment.
Many Colors provides abundant opportunities to create art in a wide variety of media. Our cognitive and neurosensory-divergent artists receive tools, support and encouragement from mentors and volunteer friends. Goals include developing life and work skills that increase the artists’ sense of self-worth. Our artists will also have the opportunity to offer their artwork for sale, with the majority of the proceeds going to the creator.
For families with differently-abled adults who cannot function independently, Many Colors offers them the reassurance that their loved one is engaged in meaningful activity in a supportive community.
Our Gratitude
The Many Colors Arts Collective came into being thanks to the vision and generosity of the Episcopal Church of the Holy Comforter. Holy Comforter continues to support us financially and by allowing us to operate in its facilities
