ArtWorks UA The Mary T. Paulin Gallery features pieces made by the artists at ArtWorks. Mutual respect and learning is the center of every activity at ArtWorks.

ArtWorks is an outreach program housed in Sonoran University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities at the University of Arizona, Department of Family & Community Medicine. ArtWorks promotes community and mutual learning through creative and expressive arts interactions between adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and University of Arizona students. Together, they create a safe space for expression, connection, and growth for the artists, students, and community. All members are encouraged to practice their strengths and talents.

Fearless
By Jon Green

Being brave means no fear
Sometimes I’m afraid of imperfection
and it makes me feel hesitant
But sometimes I just take a deep breath and just wing it
and it gives me the sense of accomplishment
Sets my mind at ease

Being Brave in the Rain
by Brad Biddlecome

I am scared of rain.
Rain hard, cold & wind
WoooOOoOOoo! outside
Don’t go outside,
instead, I pace inside
Brad! It will stop raining! Fine!
instead, I read a book.
I remember mom talking softly to be brave.
I feel safe & I feel brave

This Saturday!

Brave
by Anthony Lane

I'm afraid of ghosts, that fall on me
Bats, chickens and spiders.
I'm afraid of getting so scared
I freeze and can’t move.
I will be brave by staying stronger
by building my muscles.
I will walk away when I feel scared.
I will shoot my fears with pepper spray.
When I am no longer afraid
I am free. I feel good.

This is another Poem and Art for our Brave event. This Saturday. RSVP at this link.

Brave by Carolee

I am afraid of scorpions because they make me jump.

I am afraid of daddy long legs because of their legs.

I am afraid of hot air balloons because it’s up high.

I feel like hiding in my bed when I am afraid

Under my covers, holding my baby dolls.

I feel brave when I listen to Jesus music.

When I feel brave I’m like a butterfly flying high in the sky.

See this and more this Saturday. Look for bravery link in our bio
