Our Story...

​Creative Expressions is an integrated arts program that is part of the organization, The Life Enrichment Center that promotes creativity and self-expression for artists with developmental disAbilities through the use of music therapy, nature explorers, visual arts, and performing arts. It is our mission to provide artists with disAbilities the chance to dream, create and share their talents with the community.

The program was implemented in 2000 with the partnership of the Life Enrichment Center and the Music Therapy Department (now Creative Arts Therapy Department) of Georgia College & State University in Milledgeville, GA. The program has expanded to include collaborations with Lockerly Arboretum, Green Acres, the Art Department and Special Education departments at Georgia College and many more! The program is directed by Leah Lee (Performing Arts Coordinator) and Lindsay Bridgers (Visual Arts Coordinator). The program also utilizes a variety of volunteers from college students and interns to community members.

and what we do!

 REMEMBER OUR GROUP MOTTO: WE ARE MORE ALIKE THAN DIFFERENT!

Creative Expressions is guided by the following principles:
~ Persons with disabilities want to give back to their community     
~ Cognitive ability does not dictate creative potential  
~The arts provide avenues for self-determination and self-expression 
~College students and persons with disabilities can learn from each other                          
~There is a need for public awareness of the talents of persons with developmental disabilities
~Artists with disabilities and non-disabilities can share creativity & learn from each other
