Creative Expressions

The Creative Expressions Program is an integrated arts program that promotes creativity and self-expression for artists with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) through the use of music therapy, visual arts, horticulture and performing arts. The program was implemented in 2000 with the partnership of the Life Enrichment Center and the Music Therapy Department of Georgia College. The program has expanded to participation with Lockerly Arboretum, Green Acres Nursing Home, and the Art Department and Special Education Department at Georgia College. The program utilizes a variety of volunteers from college students and interns to community members.
"It is our mission to provide artists with disabilities the chance to dream, create and share their talents with the community."
​Creative Expressions is guided by the following principles:
  • Persons with disabilities want to give back to their community     
  • Cognitive ability does not dictate creative potential  
  • The arts provide avenues for self-determination and self-expression 
  • College students and persons with disabilities can learn from each other                          
  • There is a need for public awareness of the talents of persons with developmental disabilities
  • Artists with disabilities and non-disabilities can share creativity and learn from each other
