MPower clients will continue to attend their art classes thanks to a grant from the Central Community Foundation.

The $2,500 grant will cover the cost for art classes over the next year through StillyArts. 11 Mpower clients get to participate in the classes, which focus on formal art.

“Our participants look forward to the art classes every month,” said Amy Spiva, MPower Executive Director. “The Central grant covers the cost for our participants for the entire year.”

MPower is a nonprofit based in Stillwater that serves people with developmental disabilities. They currently serve 111 participants through their vocational services, such as job development, training and placement, but also through their residential services and day center services.
