Our Artists

Our artists are from the Medically Fragile Program at The Arc Jacksonville. An A.R.T. room has been created for this program and it has become a haven for the artists, with paint cans, rolls of canvas, a foam-board wall, special lighting, and lots of brushes and other artists’ tools. Even without the ability to hold a paintbrush, these artists are able to create art in the truest sense by using the new A.R.T. artistic method. Currently, there are four artists in the program.

"I just love to do it (A.R.T.). My art has changed a lot. I am using different colors. I used to use red all the time. It has changed. Now I do drips and other things. It has changed me a whole lot. I am glad to keep going with the art. I will happily keep doing it.”
