Easterseals Receives Grant from Kent County Fund for the Arts for Artfulness Program
Easterseals Delaware & Maryland’s Eastern Shore recently received a grant for $1200 from Kent County Fund for the Arts, a fund of the CenDel Foundation to support their Artfulness program. This program brings art to the people with disabilities who attend Easterseals adult day program in Kent County, Delaware.
“We would like to thank Kent County Fund for the Arts, a fund of the CenDel Foundation for supporting this wonderful program that brings artistic opportunities to people with disabilities in our adult day program in Kent County,” Easterseals President/CEO, Kenan Sklenar, said. “Our unique roster of artists provides adapted art workshops that allow all of our adults to participate in the activities. These opportunities would not be possible without the generosity of our community partners.”
Easterseals Artfulness is in its fourth year and has provided close to 100 in-person and virtual art/cultural workshops for adults with disabilities and seniors. The program has been incredibly impactful for Easterseals participants, like Marcus Taylor, of Magnolia, DE, who enjoys the Artfulness program and looks forward to future workshops.
