Toward Independent Living and Learning (TILL), Watertown
Toward Independent Living and Learning’s (TILL) mission is to develop and operate innovative services for individuals of all ages and abilities which maximize their potential for personal growth and independent living. TILL’s day habilitation center in Watertown opened in Summer 2011, and already serves 70 individuals. TILL’s staff helps participants be as productive as possible by focusing on their abilities rather than their disabilities and offering work training and other services to the community. Environments for people with disabilities have historically been viewed as spaces which are functional, without much emphasis on aesthetics. Thanks to your donation of original art people at TILL will experience a welcoming environment to find support in. Your art will enhance the entrance, hallways, gross motor rehabilitation room, dining area, and other community spaces to demonstrate the pride TILL instills in their staff and clients with regard to enjoying beauty in their surroundings. The participants have already expressed how much they enjoyed the art- seeing color, form, and shapes in ways which they would not typically view in their surroundings.
Artists: Borchard, Brenna, Brown, Coker, Cornell, Dioguardi, Fisher, Graham, Guthrie, Hyde, Klarer, LaMont, Levitt, Olds, Saunders, SHapero, Silverstein, Stewart, Zanger
