INTERTWINE ARTS

The mission of Intertwine Arts is to inspire creativity, joy, and self-confidence through free-form weaving for people of all ages with disabilities or chronic illness. Intertwine Arts envisions creating inclusive communities of weavers by partnering with organizations that provide programs and services to people with intellectual, developmental, or physical disabilities or chronic illness together with their families and caregivers. We seek to transform lives through accessible fiber arts activities that provide tactile and imaginative exploration. We nurture expressions of the unique sensibilities and creative potential of people with disabilities or illness. During weaving sessions, participants explore their own aesthetic, choosing for themselves what to create and how to express their thoughts and feelings. Through these experiences, participants gain confidence in their abilities and feel pride in their accomplishments.
