The UMAR ARTS Program, located on the grounds of Spencer Memorial United Methodist Church in Charlotte's NoDa District, organizes partnerships with artists from the community to teach various forms of art to adults with disabilities. Program participants have the opportunity to learn about, create and display for sale, different forms of visual art such as painting, pottery, and digital photography.

As program participants gain skills in their chosen art mediums, they also receive critical job training. UMAR has extensive experience in job training for adults with disabilities and the arts curriculum follows the same education process. After training, program participants are placed in competitive employment in the community as support for artists in locations such as galleries, museums, frame shops, ceramics studios, retail stores, catering or performing art venues.

The UMAR ARTS Program is currently a 6-hour, 5 day per week program that offers morning and afternoon sessions with participation at the center as well as in the community.  Morning sessions include classes such as Art Redesign, Mixed Media, Drawing & Painting, Paint Exploration, Clay Sculpture and Photography. Community-based afternoon field trips include attendance at arts shows, gallery crawls and additional training classes at The McColl Center for Visual Art in Uptown Charlotte and Art in the Dairy.
