Art Walk for Kids/Adults is an outreach program that began in January 2000 with the mission of focusing and benefiting  artists with disabilities-special needs, autistic, developmentally disabled, at risk, youth and adults in their positive environments through a specialized curriculum of art education.

Art Walk for Kids/Adults also works with our artsist and helps them exhibit and frame their work with numerous shows throughout the year, thus creating pride of ownership and a great sense of self worth.

Kerrie Kilpatrick-Weinberg is the Founder/Artistic Director of Art Walk for Kids/Adults. She developed the original Art Walk Curriculum as a step-by-step series of creative and self-expressive art classes. Kerrie shares her skills as a artist and design specialist. Her early experience includes work as a Theater and Set Designer with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre. She received her Bachelor of Art with honors in Theatre/Set Design and Art History from Central School Saint Martins London, England. As a Set Designer Kerrie collaborated with at risk youth through the Lyric Theatre in London thus sowing the seeds for Art Walk for Kids/Adults in Santa Barbara.

Kerrie's passion for helping others began with her own family experience. Her younger brother, Nigel was autistic. His passing inspired Kerrie to continue sharing her gifts and love through the Art Walk experience.
