This gallery is in the spirit of social inclusion, entrepreneurship and enterprise.

  • Social inclusion for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

  • Social entrepreneurship describes pioneering individuals who generate innovations that benefit humanity and create a business model of positive impact

  • Social enterprise, defined as any non-profit, for-profit or hybrid corporate form that utilizes market-based strategies to advance a social mission and values

Through this collaborative effort, together we are able to join forces and resources to provide a creative space for our artists with disabilities to show their artistic creations and have a place in the community to be gainfully employed. We are grateful for our social enterprise community partnerships as they have broadened the opportunities for quality of life not only for our artists but also an opportunity for awareness and advocacy that supports learning and personal growth strengthening and benefitting everyone in the community.

Community Exhibitions

Art is a universal language that helps us to connect to one another. Through community exhibitions, the greater community has opportunities to meet and learn from our service users and resident artist. Able ARTS Work is committed and dedicated to providing the tools and opportunities to our resident artists to pursue a career in art. Our community exhibitions department works to push fine work into the community by researching and submitting resident artists' artwork to exhibits.

This exhibitions department also works to host community exhibits with partnering galleries and public spaces in order to showcase artists with and without disabilities. These exhibits often act both as an act of community integration and as an incredible viewing experience. Email us to learn about our yearly community exhibitions and how you can get involved.
