ART INSPIRES
Nebraska Council for Exceptional Children is hosting their 2nd Annual ART INSPIRES this Saturday, August 27th from 1-3PM at UNO Pep Bowl. ART INSPIRES is a FREE adapted art workshop for students of ALL ages and abilities, but specialized for students who may need access to specialized equipment and supplies! This year we will have 8 art stations with a variety of adapted art materials and supplies available so all students can express themselves using art! We will also have the onsite support of special educators, occupational therapists, vision specialists, SLPs, artists, and more! Attached you will find a save the date for the event as well as a UNO campus map with the Pep Bowl area outlined, where the event will be held. Students must be accompanied by an adult to participate in the free workshop and we ask that they register online to help us plan for supplies needed for the event under Art Inspires.
P.S. - Our "sister" event BE INSPIRED will be held on Friday, September 23rd from 6-9 at College of St. Mary, Mercy Hall where students who participated in ART INSPIRES can choose to create a second piece of artwork to donate to NE CEC to be auctioned off at BE INSPIRED. All proceeds from this event help support inclusive activities for students with disabilities, family training and advocacy, exceptional student scholarships, current and future special educator scholarships, and professional development opportunities.
