Art is a powerful tool for self-expression, especially for children who have special needs that involve difficulty with language and communication, or emotional challenges. In the four years since SINAI Schools established its Miranov-Paley Art Therapy Program, art therapist Sarah Tarzik has facilitated significant breakthroughs with her students, and has helped them create astonishing, beautiful artwork.

On Wednesday, June 1, from 6 to 8 p.m., the community is invited to Unique Inspirations, a free student art show and auction of the works created by SINAI students over the past year through this art therapy program. This marks the fourth annual SINAI student art show and auction, which is sponsored by Bear Givers, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering children who have special needs.

SINAI Schools encourages the community to come meet the young artists and mingle with them, and to support SINAI by purchasing artwork or commissioning a canvas. As in past years, the event promises to be memorable. The art show provides visitors the unique opportunity to gain insight into how children with a wide range of special needs see the world and express their feelings through art. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of all artwork will benefit SINAI Schools’ Scholarship Fund. Admission is free.

The event will be held at The Avenue, 1382 Queen Anne Road, Teaneck, NJ 07666.
