Intertwine Arts

The mission of Intertwine Arts is to inspire creativity, joy, and self-confidence through free-form weaving for people of all ages with disabilities or chronic illness.

Intertwine Arts envisions creating and promoting inclusive communities of weavers by partnering with organizations that provide programs and services to people with intellectual, developmental, or physical disabilities or chronic illness together with their families and caregivers. We aim to promote accessibility in the arts, as well as champion the legitimacy of disabled weavers in the art world. 

We also believe everyone should be able to experience the therapeutic benefits of weaving, a creative process wherein individuals discover their own unique creative sensibilities, connect with their peers on a deeper level, and gain confidence in themselves and their abilities.  

Intertwine Arts travels to multiple locations around New York, with two weekly weaving locations in Brooklyn at day habilitation centers for adults with disabilities. Our burgeoning weavers, in partnership with Heartshare Human Services of New York and AHRC NYC, create beautiful woven art that can be transformed into clothing, pillows, dolls, and accessories, and more!
