  • Mission

    People with disabilities have the same aspirations and dreams that everyone does: healthy relationships, meaningful ways to participate in society, and the resources needed to be successful. Yet as a community, people with disabilities face numerous daily challenges and systemic barriers to full participation in society. AIM enriches the lives of people in the disability community through active engagement with and access to movement and the arts. AIM engages Disabled community members by providing opportunities for self-expression, connection and belonging through adaptive arts education and artistic experiences in an accessible and welcoming environment.

    About Us

    AIM provides a variety of opportunities for Disabled community members to engage with the arts, such as day camps and weekly classes and meetups, with a variety of arts experiences, including dance, theater, music, and visual arts. AIM is powered by volunteers, who provide one-on-one support to participants or provide general support to the classroom as "floaters." Sessions are lead by a teaching artist, and support staff are available to assist with personal care needs..
