Onward Arts: Neurodivergent Art Class (Week 1)

Onward Arts is a free 12-week art program where neurodivergent adults (18+) can create, connect, and just be themselves. We explore all kinds of art—drawing, painting, mixed media, whatever sparks your creativity—while building a community where everyone belongs.

What does neurodivergent mean? Neurodivergent is a term for people whose brains work a little differently—think autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other ways of experiencing and processing the world.

Why Onward Arts? Let's be real: finding spaces where you can relax and be yourself isn't always easy, especially if you're neurodivergent. Too often, social spaces feel overwhelming or isolating. Onward Arts is different. It's a place where you can express yourself through art, meet people who just get it, and build genuine friendships—all without pressure or judgment.

Every quarter we dive into new art forms with instructors who celebrate neurodiversity and meet you where you are. Never picked up a paintbrush? No problem. Just bring your curiosity and willingness to explore. We'll provide the rest—materials, guidance, and a space where you truly belong.

We do ask that if you sign up to attend, you try to come at least 80% of the time, so we can continue to provide these classes and eventually offer more art classes.
