Some pieces have been designed with a friend or family member in mind that has a disability. Many pieces of this art is sentiment and heartfelt for the artist and an individual. Most art pieces will have a story to tell and will allow you to experience the art. Some artist and the individuals the piece has been designed for will be available to tell their stories throughout the evening.

Children and young people, with and without disabilities, who participate in A Touch of Understanding’s in-school character-building, disability-awareness workshops and members of the ATOU Youth F.O.R.C.E. (“Friends Offering Respect ~ Creating Empower-ment’) ATOU’s programs, provided in our communities, foster respect and understanding for people with disabilities and those who seem “different” for any reason. The mes-sage is strong and clear, as one student said, “I get it now! I can be a buddy, not a bully!” In the last 17 years this organization has reached 60,000 students in Northern California!
