Pathfinder Services introduced its newest component, the Little River Art Studio, during an open house Friday afternoon, Nov. 17.
Artists from Creative Abundance Consulting, based in Columbus, OH, worked with the Pathfinder staff to implement the arts program, designed for clients participating in Pathfinder’s day services program. Community members are also welcome to take part in the activities.
Those taking part in art studio activities choose the activities they’re most interested in, says Sandy Wing, senior director of Pathfinder Community Supports. Art studio clients have created items that fill an adjacent sensory room, where visitors can touch as well as see the art.
Much of the art is made from repurposed materials, she says, and donations of materials are welcome.
Rose Mills is the coordinator of Little River Art Studio.
The creative center is in the Pathfinder building at 1152 E. State St. and was funded by the AWS Foundation and Pathfinder Foundation.
