Creativity Unlimited is a welcoming, process-based art class designed specifically for neurodivergent young adults. This class prioritizes creative freedom, confidence-building, and self-expression over finished outcomes. Participants are encouraged to explore materials and ideas at their own pace in a supportive, low-pressure environment. Rather than following a single step-by-step project, students make choices about how they work, what they create, and how deeply they engage—fostering autonomy and personal connection to the creative process.

What age is “young adult”?
That’s intentionally up to you. This program was designed without a fixed age range so that parents and caregivers can decide whether Creativity Unlimited is the right environment for their child or loved one. You know them better than any number does and we are excited to help them feel empowered in creating in our classroom with us.

What to expect:

A calm, adaptable studio environment

Open-ended projects using a variety of materials

Emphasis on enjoyment, exploration, and self-expression

Guidance and support tailored to individual needs

No prior art experience is required, and all supplies are provided.

A space where creativity is about expression, not perfection—and every artist is supported exactly where they are.
