Sunnyhill Independence Center In 2015, Sunnyhill opened the Independence Center in DeSoto, situated on 18-acres. We welcome you to check out our daily adventures through our page!

📣 Your Voice Matters!

The Productive Living Board for St. Louis County Citizens with Developmental Disabilities (PLB) is conducting a Community Needs Assessment, and they want to hear from our community.

Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), their families, community partners, and professionals who live or provide services in St. Louis County are encouraged to participate.

The survey takes just 5 minutes, and your feedback will help PLB better understand community needs and guide future planning and funding decisions.

📝 Take the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7RW33QS

📅 Survey closes Saturday, October 31.

Please make your voice heard and share this opportunity with others in our community!

🌌🎨 Every masterpiece has a story... and this one is out of this world.

As we count down to ARTventure 2026: Reach for the Stars, we're giving you a behind-the-scenes look at one of this year's most meaningful collaborative art projects.

Instead of letting leftover paint go to waste, every color used by our artists throughout the ARTventure studio sessions was mixed together to create the base for a collection of handcrafted planets. Each planet carries a little piece of every artist's creativity, making this project a true reflection of our entire Sunnyhill art community.

In this video, you'll see artists Alex and Steven placing the planets onto a stunning galaxy canvas, bringing the final vision to life. Together, they're creating something that's bigger than any one artist could make alone—a beautiful reminder that when creativity comes together, incredible things happen.

✨ See the finished masterpiece in person at ARTventure 2026:
