Art is more than a creative outlet at Grace Center—it’s a powerful tool that supports adults with neurocognitive disorders and adults with differing abilities. Through art, our participants build confidence, strengthen fine-motor skills, express emotions, and find meaningful connection.

You can help keep these moments going!
Shop our Amazon Wishlist to donate art supplies directly to Grace Center: https://a.co/1iD13ZS
Or shop local by purchasing similar items from small businesses and dropping them off—we love supporting our local community!

Every paintbrush, canvas, and marker helps turn creativity into connection and care. Thank you for supporting our participants and our local businesses
