We are thrilled to announce that Arts Access has been awarded a planning grant from the John Rex Endowment. These funds will go toward developing an initiative supporting the positive mental health of children with disabilities by fostering inclusion in the arts. We look forward to the next six months of gathering community input and creating a plan to address this important issue.
