Arts4All Florida offers classes in visual, music, dance and movement and the performing arts to students and adults of all abilities. Headquartered at the University of South Florida in the College of Education, Arts4All Florida provides, supports and champions arts education and cultural experiences for and by people with disabilities. The goals for our community-based programs are to encourage personal development, group participation, and camaraderie while teaching creative expression. Classes are led by professional artists/art teachers, certified instructors, and disability experts.
Virtual class options have been added to our list of services to meet the needs of the times. In-person programming will be offered again when safety is able to be socially ensured.

Then we’ll work on some sketching for a tree and hill perspective painting. Our finished pieces will be bound into an upcycled book with room for some artists’ notes such as technique reminders, formulas, and reflections.
