Art For All
Flagship program, Art For All, is a unique art program for adults with mental and/or physical disabilities. Art For All began in 1985 as an opportunity for individuals in the community to experience the arts. Original underwriting was by the Life Consultation Center. By 1997 the program was absorbed by the Holland Area Arts Council, and classes were moved to its new building at 150 East 8th Street. Mae Van Ark, a local artist and art instructor, was the guiding light for the program and taught the Art For All classes from inception until her retirement in 2009.
Today the Art For All program is a year-round class taught once a week for an hour and a half. The present supervising instructor is Sandie Coffman. Student attendance varies from 13 to 20 each week. The cost is $20 per month, and scholarships are available from community sponsors. Art for All students are exposed to various art media including printmaking, weaving, clay sculpture, painting, and wood construction, as well as dance and movement.
6-8 pm Mondays
(with the exception of holidays, Tulip Time, Spring Break and Christmas Break)
