The DIA’s Sensory-Friendly Saturdays offer a welcoming, inclusive art-making experience for neurodivergent children, teens, adults, and their families and friends. Each session features a thoughtfully designed project in a comfortable, supportive environment.
Join us from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in the DIA Artmaking Studio. Registration is required, and all materials are provided. Open to all ages; children under 16 must be accompanied by a guardian.
This session’s project: Drawing with Scissors
Using just paper and a pair of scissors, create your own experimental collage focused on layering shapes and combining vivid colors, inspired by Henri Matisse’s Jazz series. Adaptable scissors and pre-cut shapes will be available for those who may need them.
