Working alongside professional artists with their peers and support staff, these Self-Advocates will use theatre, dance, music, poetry and more to explore topics related to informed choice and person-centered planning.
WHO:
Adults with disabilities ages 18+ (including those outside of the Twin Cities metro)
Family members, support staff or PCA’s are asked to remain in the building for the duration of class, or better yet, join in!

HOW MUCH:
Upstream Arts is now a waivered service provider, also offering Full and Partial Scholarships to those without waivers! (Our business is connecting across barriers and breaking down walls, even financial ones!) See attachment for details.

At Upstream Arts, we're always looking for new partners to collaborate with us in using the power of the creative arts to activate and amplify the voice and choice of individuals with disabilities. As Minnesota's first Self-Advocacy Program specifically designed for adults with disabilities, we're revolutionizing Self-Advocacy through the arts.
