The Arc of Essex County received a $9,855 grant from Blue Foundry Charitable Foundation, which will support new programming at Studio Arc. The funding will support classes such as Music and Movement for toddlers and young children, Saturday Kids Art for children ages 6 to 12, and Teen Art Sessions for youth ages 13 to 20. This innovative program will empower individuals of all abilities and interests.

The Arc thanks Blue Foundry for its commitment to supporting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and is grateful for the generous contribution to Studio Arc programming.
