At Darlington Arts Center, we are working to master the art of community while the community masters the arts. We recognize now that art instruction cannot be successful using one method. There is a multitude of people in our constituency who learn in different ways. The Arts-Focused Sensory Play Space is a new method to provide arts access to the youth in our community. Designed by Lizzie Bracken of Jonathan Splitt Architects in Chicago, IL, the play space touches on many specific needs for children with disabilities. Through auditory, visual, and tactile stimulation, this play space will allow all children to engage with the arts in a unique way.!

We are asking our friends and neighbors to join our efforts in raising $35,000 towards the first building phase of this project by August 31, 2023.
