The primary mission of Arts & Services for Disabled is to provide life-long learning, community service and career opportunities through the creative arts for people with disabilities in an environment of warmth, encouragement and respect. We believe. . . ...all people, regardless of functional capability, have a right and responsibility to contribute to the well-being of their community and be gainfully employed in an occupation of their choosing; . . . an informed and supportive community must play a vital role in removing the barriers to full involvement and inclusion; . . .people should have access to the expressive arts in vocation, education, and leisure; . . .people have the right to express and practice their cultural and artistic heritage; . . .being treated with dignity and respect fosters personal growth, thus our philosophy: love before learning.
