Last month, ACLD's Art Studio Program for Day Services welcomed New York City-based artist Envy for a graffiti workshop. 🎨

Envy demonstrated how to properly use the materials, create different lines and effects and how to write in bubble letters. All of our artists then got a chance to practice these skills on the canvas before getting to work on a collaborative piece between all the artists and Envy. The final piece, inspired by nature, is currently hanging in the Bethpage Day Services building and will be featured in the Art Studio Program's upcoming show this winter.

Special thank you to Envy and our Art Studio Program staff for an amazing opportunity for our artists!
