Fine Arts
A Creative Space for Neurodiverse Artists
TERI's Fine Arts Program provides a supportive and inclusive environment where neurodiverse adults can develop independence, increase creativity, and explore self-expression through ceramics, crafts, painting, and mosaics. By engaging in the therapeutic and sensory aspects of art, students cultivate their talents and experience the joy of collective creativity in our studios. Student works are displayed in Washington, D.C., California state buildings, local galleries, and the TERI Performing Arts & Fine Arts Center. Many artists sell their pieces privately and through galleries, creating opportunities for microenterprise and professional growth. Fine art by TERI students is available for purchase at Sheri’s – A Unique Boutique located in the Vocational Center on the Campus, the TERI Inspired Resale Store in Oceanside, and partnering galleries throughout the community.
