Spring has sprung at CapeCodCAN. We celebrated our gallery show, “Tell Your Story”, took the Art Bus out of winter hibernation, launched new classes, completed our Plymouth Book Party study of “Wonder”, with @thelocalseencommunitymedia and spent time creating with preschool - grade 3 friends in Cotuit and Barnstable. We began a new partnership with @communityconnectionsinc facilitating art classes in Plymouth, Fall River and Cape Cod and are about to open classes in our new Hyannis location. Won’t you join in the fun?
Cotuit Center for the Arts has expanded to a second location at 525 South St in Hyannis. Located in the vibrant downtown, this space is a new accessible home for CapeCodCAN and Outreach. CapeCodCAN will continue to host a few signature classes and Friday Art Social in Cotuit. The new venue allows the opportunity to serve more youth, teens and adults within two classrooms, create community based programming and grow our outreach efforts to nonprofits and partnering organizations. We are beyond excited to share this space with you. To learn more click the link in our bio.

Woody Brown knew he wanted to be a writer when he was 8 years old. Around that age, he made up stories about his alter ego, Cop Woody, a hero who went around saving people.
The tales stunned his mother, Mary Brown. She’d been reading to him since he was a baby, but never imagined that he could create his own elaborate plots.
As a toddler, Woody was diagnosed with severe autism. Doctors concluded he couldn’t process language, and said it was pointless to explain things to him or talk to him in complex sentences. But when Woody learned to communicate by spelling, it felt like an escape hatch had opened, he explained.
This week, Woody published his debut novel, “Upward Bound,” which centers on the lives of disabled people at an adult day care center in Southern California. He spoke with us about how he got here at the link in our bio. Photos by @peytonfulford
Why do we need to talk about loneliness?�
Everyone feels lonely sometimes. But for many people with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities, loneliness is a more common and painful experience.
Their families can feel lonely too, and feel cut off from support.
Loneliness can feel like different things: – Not having a group of friends or a community to belong to. – Not having a close, special person to share your feelings with.
Loneliness is a serious problem.
Loneliness is not just a sad feeling. It is bad for our health and happiness. It can make people feel anxious or depressed. It can also harm physical health.�
