Building Collaborative Art Creation Environment for People with Intellectual Disabilities through Adaptive Fabric Art Workshops

This study focuses on designing and implementing adaptive fabric art workshops within a collaborative art creation environment tailored for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Conducted in an inclusive gallery setting, these workshops aimed to enhance self-expression for individuals with intellectual disabilities through simplified art-making processes and user-friendly materials and tools. Following these workshops, the created artworks were exhibited at the gallery. Based on reflections with stakeholders, we suggest the development of online sharing platforms that could facilitate ongoing learning and collaboration for supporters, ultimately promoting inclusivity and accessibility in community art activities for individuals with intellectual disabilities.
