Art Links 333
Art Links 333 houses ACAP's gift shop and its expressive and performing arts studio in downtown Waukesha’s arts district. It serves people with disabilities who make and sell garden sculptures and other gift items through ACAP's Art Links Works program. It also serves people with disabilities who are interested in learning about the expressive and performing arts, including clay arts, computer-based art, fiber art, woodworking, theatre, dance, and adaptive music.
