Arts Classes

Arts classes in Visual Art and Music for children and adults with disabilities



Visual Art

A supportive environment offering a range of mediums like painting, drawing, and sculpture. Experienced instructors tailor sessions to accommodate different abilities, providing social interaction and fostering creative community. Classes on the north and west sides of Madison.

Music

Classes in music and singing with longtime AFA teaching artists on the north and west sides of Madison
 

Dance

A two-year pilot adaptive dance program designed for individuals of all ages with disabilities. Our adaptive dance programming is born out of the insightful research conducted by Janel Hutchison at UW-Madison in 2022. We will address a crucial need identified through interviews with parents, caregivers, dance instructors, and disability-focused organizations that underscored a glaring absence of accessible dance opportunities in the Madison area for people with disabilities.

Dance Research

AFA is partnering with professional dance companies, universities, dance schools, and adaptive dance organizations to create inclusive dance classes, professional development opportunities, and social engagement events for diverse age groups and abilities.

Dance Classes

Opportunities include free professional development workshops. More information can be found under Useful Links.
