Participant Creative Endeavors
Show your support for Pine Castle’s inclusive, art-focused programs! From one-of-a-kind paintings by talented Life Enrichment Pathway participant Kim Le, to exclusive “fan club” apparel, The Flashbacks CDs, and more, every purchase directly supports our mission to empower adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Support Participant Creative Endeavors
At Pine Castle, we encourage participants to fully dive into their creative passions and explore new hobbies and activities in the arts. Through on-campus clubs and adaptive activities, participants are able to express themselves in ways that feel authentic to them and build confidence in their abilities while reinforcing personal independence.
Creative activities and the arts give individuals a way to express their feelings in mediums other than words. For those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, this can be especially helpful in communicating their emotions and thoughts. Research shows that there are many benefits of participating in creative activities for those with IDDs, such as improved communication and fine motor skills, increased self-esteem, increased sense of purpose, and more.
By purchasing paintings made by participants or merchandise promoting Pine Castle’s inclusive, art-focused programs, you are directly helping Pine Castle continue to provide programmatic support for our participants.
