Noble Art has garnered some impressive attention recently, with WISH TV featuring its therapeutic arts program.
Specifically, the story centers on a partnership forged a year ago between Noble and the University of Indianapolis for art therapy that’s benefiting the people we serve.
That partnership offers a win for everyone involved. Noble elevates its therapeutic art service with Art Therapy interns studying at the University of Indianapolis. UIndy secures valuable, real-world experience for its students.
For their part, artists with disabilities served by Noble enhance their artistic techniques while tapping into the universal language of art to communicate their thoughts and feelings.
“This community partnership is so powerful because it truly fills a need for both organizations,” said Dr. Sarah Wareham, associate professor in the School of Education. Wareham, a former special education teacher and current Noble Board Member.
“UIndy students get an immersive experience working alongside adults with disabilities and Noble gains a steady connection to highly trained and capable students who can support and expand the creative work that is already happening. At its heart, this partnership is about recognizing the dignity and the potential of every person involved.”
