Upstream Arts is a nonprofit organization based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, that seeks to improve the lives of both youth and adults with disabilities through arts education. Its programs bring people with cognitive, developmental, emotional, behavioral, and physical challenges into creative activities led by local professional artists. The goal is to build self-expression, dialogue, and collaborative participation, equipping participants with social and communication skills that support schooling, work, and everyday life. As part of its role in the arts-education and disability-inclusion space, Upstream Arts emphasizes learning through artistic practice, pairing professional artists with participants to facilitate inclusive, person-centered experiences. The organization focuses on the target groups of youth and adults with disabilities and collaborates with community partners to broaden access to its offerings. In 2025, Upstream Arts announced partnerships with Accrisoft Corporation and the Levine Jewish Community Center to expand Art of Access trainings, Art of Social Skills residencies, and related exhibitions.
