Join us for an evening of great conversation, art, and music. Each month we will enjoy a light dinner, create an art or craft project and spend time together. As time allows, we close the event with music and comedy. Pre-registration is required and please email us in advance at capecodcan@gmail.com with any dietary allergies or restrictions. Please note that because art supplies and dinner are pre ordered based on registration, refunds cannot be issued unless we can fill a spot from a wait list.
Through participation in the arts, people with disabilities use their talents and abilities to express themselves and connect with others. Engaging in rewarding art experiences have a host of benefits, including improved social skills and increased self-confidence and self-worth. Not only do participants gain inspiration from this program, but so do our audiences.
Please donate to CapeCodCAN today so we can continue this important work.
