Touch & See: Art Therapy on Display

Touch & See: Arts Therapy on Display

For over twenty years, the LCCA has worked to provide art therapy to children and adults with disabilities, through both the Lancaster County School District and the Lancaster-Chester Disability and Special Needs Day Center (DSN). We are pleased to announce that, through the generous funding of South Arts, we are embarking on a new initiative in partnership with DSN: Touch & See - Arts Therapy on Display. 

This new program will expand the work that we are already doing, share it with a wider audience, and give our community the opportunity to be a part of this essential and life-changing work! 

Here are just a few of the things we have coming up as part of this project:

‍

Creative Collaborations

January - June 2026

We are launching a new creative arts mentorship program! This initiative will pair local artists and DSN participants to share creative skills, collaborate on original artwork, and display their art in a public gallery exhibition. Participating artists will play a vital role by sharing their artistic expertise and working alongside participants to create meaningful, one-of-a-kind pieces.

Interested in participating? We are seeking local artists (18+) who are compassionate, kind, and enthusiastic about sharing their creative practice with adults with disabilities. Artists of all disciplines and skill levels are encouraged to apply! See our full program outline to learn more: Creative Collaborations

To get involved, please fill out this interest form by January 31st: Creative Collaborations Interest Form.
