About This Opportunity
The Foundation Art Programme is a full-time professional arts programme for neurodivergent learners run by Sense Kaleidoscopes, a unit of Ayathi Trust in Bengaluru. The programme is described as India's first autism-specific art college curriculum and uses a research-backed, neuro-affirmative pedagogy.
It is structured as hands-on, studio-based learning across five core artistic disciplines: fine arts and drawing, sculpture, printmaking, theatre, and culinary arts. The curriculum integrates social-emotional learning, executive functioning, sensory regulation, and portfolio development so that learners build creative practice alongside life-readiness.
The Foundation Programme is primarily for learners aged 11 and above, including young adults on the autism spectrum and others living with conditions such as mood disorders, anxiety, OCD, depression, and trauma-related behaviours. It serves as a feeder into the Artist-in-Residence Programme, which provides vocational pathways for graduates of the Foundation.
