Digital Art and Technology Access Fall 2025

DATA is a media arts and technology program designed for neurodivergent individuals (such as individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, etc.) ages 13-19. A series of year-round workshops builds creative and social skills. Students learn a range of media-based practices to suit all interests in technology and art.

In DATA we provide a minimum 4:1 student-to-instructor ratio, noise-canceling headphones, snacks, and a separate sensory-friendly space outside the classroom for breaks. Our patient and passionate instructors have extensive experience working with neurodivergent teens, and all have relevant combined training and/or degrees in fields like fine art, special education and social work.

DATA is now by sliding scale tuition with no one turned away for lack of funds. Fall registration will open in September.
