Addus

Say cheese. Did you know that nachos were invented in 1940 by Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya at the Victory Club in 1940? A regular customer, asked if Anaya could bring her and three other women a different snack than usual. In a moment of culinary inspiration behind the scenes in the kitchen, nachos were born! Recreating their own inspiration and take on the nachos experience during their virtual cooking class, Addus participants, lead by Addus chef Jessica, created their own unique nachos dish. Now that’s muy Bueno!

Slip on...slip off...! The marvel seen below is the Nike GO FlyEase - a hands-free shoe. "In 2012, Matthew Walzer, a teen with cerebral palsy, wrote to Nike because he saw the need for athletic shoes for people with disabilities. The letter led to a reaction Matthew didn’t expect collaborating with Nike to weigh in on the adaptive #NikeFlyEase shoe."

Every artist was first and amateur. Virtual art studio, encouraging participants to think, develop skills and confidence as they go. Inventing, experimenting and growing. Now that’s a creative experience!
