The Arts Experience is a partnership of Hobart and William Smith Colleges and the Collaborative of the Finger Lakes. The festival is an opportunity for participants, including people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities, the college community, and the general public to explore various means of expression through the arts.
The Arts Experience will cultivate and embrace the spirit of inclusion through participation in the arts, artistic performance and celebration.
