What Parents Say
Arts for All is a highly-regarded organization that serves children and adults with disabilities through arts-based programming. Parents consistently praise the inclusive environment, high expectations for participants, and confidence-building activities. The center is noted for its community impact and recognition from the City of Tucson.
Our son has been going here for many years because they've always welcomed him and made him part of the community. He looks forward to going, makes friends, and enjoys the activities. They helped him discover his love for the stage, and have given him many opportunities. As a parent, I like it because their expectations for our kids are so high!
Before moving your butt across country and starting AFA, I would highly recommend you talk to someone who has already done the program. First off, you are required to go to weekly meetings, usually three a week and around 6:00 in the evening. There is a lot of paper work, and the director is a moody, dramatic woman that likes to yell at her employees in front of an audience. The mother-daughter director/human services director add a uniquely strange effect. Can we say conflict of interest? While you might expect kind, nurturing people at such an establishment ... Don't! The place is overrun with gossip and negativity. There seems to be a basic lack of trust among the staff trickling down from the top. The best part of the program are the participants, and for some, they are enough to stay, but remember, it is a year of your life that will be lacking in well- being and health. And if you still have doubts... check out their BBB rating.
I have been involved with Arts for All on many levels for quite some time. My child and now adult has been through the programs and is in college, he has confidence more than most, has a strong community support system, and I owe a huge thanks to all of the dedication that the executive director and staff put into the these children/adults. She is no joke that is true, she puts her heart and soul into Arts for All. "positivity is life altering"
Arts for All is a great organization that makes a real difference in the life of their participants. The confidence that grows in the children and adults when they engage in the arts is amazing.
