Art Therapy Classes creating Murals and Character / Comic Book designs

McNair built in the 1960’s was be torn down and rebuilt right next door in a $32 million dollar state of the art

facility…..the transition to be completed in Jan. 2016 had a great effect on the students

even though the building was to be destroyed we created wonderful works of art in the final days.
