Slide Show of our Art Work

A dream to provide quality art instruction to artists with disabilities came into reality when the arts center opened its doors in the beginning of 1997.
Located at 6A Cuyler Avenue in historic Albany, New York, the 1925 carriage house provides a stimulating and imaginative setting.
Classes take place throughout the week in this gem of a building.  
They include:
  • Painting/drawing
  • Jewelry making
  • Ceramics
  • Sculpture
  • Fabric Making
  • Poetry
  • Photography
The students come and receive instruction by an exceptionally talented staff of highly trained artists.

We are working with students with multiple disabilities:

  • Mental Retardation
  • Cerebral Palsy
  • Autism
  • Hearing Impairments
  • Schizophrenia
  • Acquired Brain Injury
Our teachers create specially designed classes that bring out self expression and imagination for everyone.
Through showcases, area art shows and prestigious achievement grants, our students' work has been highly recognized.  Sale of artwork provides monetary applause and a great sense of self-worth for these talented students.
A line of quality cards have been produced and are currently being carried at galleries, art stores, and directly through Living Resources.
Jewelry is also available through specialty stores and by contacting Living Resources directly.
For more information on the Carriage House Arts Center, its classes and creative artwork please contact Anne Murphy at (518)218-0000 ext. 5362.
