Short Center Arts

Short Center Arts (SCA) participants are able to choose from several avenues of artistic expression in the visual and performing arts as well as community and lifestyle activities.

SCA is firmly based in the arts, but offers options in education and recreation that promote personal growth and daily life skills. Studio artists participate in gallery shows and utilize varied mediums and techniques including watercolor painting, tile and mosaic murals, sculpture, traditional ceramics, collage, woodwork and textiles. Additionally, the program offers photography, videography, film editing and animation. Academic classes include reading, computer science, and online training.

Life skills activities in the community include physical education, sign language and relationship building skills. Mobility and physical therapy activities include fitness at the YMCA/YWCA, participation in the Special Olympics, and dance classes.
