Our Impact
Prism Arts’ mission is to empower people with learning disabilities and/or autism to make excellent art, allowing them to drive their own creative journey as artists, leaders, and advocates for change.
“The great thing about Prism Arts is that they concentrate on my son’s abilities and not his disabilities”
– Parent of a member of Studio Theatre
