Let us bring the art to you!

  • Our outreach program

    DLAC offers art as therapy group sessions at locations in Milwaukee and Waukesha County.

    Outreach services are available as ongoing programming or for individual, as-needed sessions.

    Whether you're looking for a regular creative outlet or a special series of sessions, we love finding ways to bring art to our community!

  • Who do we serve?

    We serve individuals of all abilities. Our specialty is working with adults with disabilities and other conditions who receive support services.

    DLAC community sites include, but are not limited to, senior housing facilities, long-term care facilities, schools, and day programs.

  • More than an art activity

    Every DLAC Outreach session is an opportunity to explore creativity, express yourself, and connect with others in a welcoming environment.

    Our team brings the art supplies, ideas, and support directly to your location. Sessions are designed around the needs and abilities of the people you serve, with opportunities to experiment with different materials and discover new ways to create.


    There is no need to be an experienced artist! We focus on the creative process, encouraging participants to make choices, explore at their own pace, and enjoy the experience in their own way.

  • Not exactly… Our services are styled as “art as therapy” sessions. This means we focus on the creative process versus the product.

    The directives/projects that we offer are adaptable and flexible to fit the participants’ needs better than a traditional art class.

  • Our programs can include one-time art sessions, ongoing group sessions, seasonal workshops, and customized art experiences designed around your group’s interests and needs.

  • We offer flexible session lengths to accommodate your organization’s schedule and programming needs.

    Traditionally, most of our community sessions are 1.5-2 hours long.
