In partnership with Arts4All Florida, this annual exhibition features artwork created by students during the “My Art My Way” artist-in-residence program — a hallmark program for its positive impact on all participants including students, teachers, administrators, staff and parents/guardians.
The goal of the program is to increase students’ artistic skills and techniques, cognitive learning including memory retention and language acquisition, and self expression through the arts. The teaching artist works directly with the participants providing hands-on activities that are sequential and developmentally appropriate for seven one-hour sessions, culminating in an exhibition at the Appleton Museum of Art.
Arts4All Florida is a private not-for-profit organization that conducts art education programs in schools, Department of Juvenile Justice facilities, and community centers; promotes the accomplishments of artists with disabilities through our artist registry, exhibitions, and performances; and increases access to the arts through professional learning workshops. Arts4All Florida is headquartered in the College of Education at the University of South Florida.
