CCRC was established in 1972 for individuals on the Navajo Nation with disabilities. The Arts Program was created in September 2001, and provides training in several art mediums such as silversmithing, photography, bead making, painting, and weaving. This art program is designed to be a long term opportunity to provide art training to Native American adults with developmental disabilities and give them opportunities to display their artwork. One student has his artwork displayed for sale in the Southwest Indian Foundation catalog. The art department also travels to various shows and events throughout the year with the students promoting their creations.
