Dear FCT Families, Funders & Donors,

After 14 years as the Director of Families Creating Together (FCT), Edward Pazzanese will begin a new role within the organization as the Art Education Specialist.   As the Founder and Director, Ed has done an incredible job in designing and creating inclusive art experiences in a community often forgotten. He has made it a priority to focus primarily on children with disabilities and their families. FCT workshops is a unique experience that gives families a great way of sharing past and present experiences and creating art together, whether it be in the form of painting, sculpture, music or poetry to name a few. We are extremely grateful for Ed’s leadership and dedication throughout these years in making this a successful program.

   We are excited for Ed to begin his new chosen position which will allow him to focus on his love of accessible art education while continuing to be an advisor and artist facilitator of meaningful workshops for youth of all ages and their families. 

 Taking on the role as Co-Directors are Maria Cabrera FCT’s Community Liaison, Accessibility consultant and formerly the Supervisor of Community Relations at the Museum of Science. Shante Rabouin has several years of experience in special education, has served on FCT’s Advisory Board for several years, and as the Co-Chair this past year. Maria and Shante look forward to continuing the mission of the program. 

We thank you for your continued support.
