Starlight Studio and Art Gallery
Starlight Studio and Art Gallery provides an open-art studio environment with individualized guidance, goal setting, technical assistance, demonstrations, and critiques for the cultivation of artistic expression with people who have disabilities.
It is the strong belief of the staff at Starlight that much is gained through the creative artistic process. Not only are visual art skills acquired or developed, the person makes intellectual, emotional and sometimes financial gains as a result of making art.
Through, but not limited to, art exhibitions, public presentations, visits to museums and artists studios and community collaborations, participants have the opportunity to broaden their experiences and interface with the public as artists.
Starlight Studio and Art Gallery is a program created by the Learning Disabilities Association of Western New York (LDAofWNY) with funding from the Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities (OMRDD) under the New York State Options for People Through Services (NYS-OPTS) Initiative.
Within this day program model, artists at Starlight work with professional artists. They have the opportunity to create or work with a variety of materials and techniques. Painting, drawing, printmaking, ceramic sculpture, fiber arts and multi-media work is available to all.
