Abilities in Motion Hold Annual ADA Celebration Art Show

Abilities in Motion is proud to present its annual ADA Celebration Art Show, which celebrates the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by showcasing artists with disabilities.

Abilities in Motion will partner with the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts to present an art show exhibition in Studio 240 from July 26 through July 31 featuring the works of artists with disabilities. The theme this year is Disability, Diversity and Inclusion. The artists’stories and biographies accompanying the art bring this exhibit to life and allow viewers to connect with the artists’ work on a personal level.

This exhibition honors the 31st anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which falls on July 26th and established civil rights for people with disabilities and allowed for a more inclusive, accessible society.

Abilities in Motion conceptualized the annual art show five years ago to recognize the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) by highlighting the culturally diverse artistic talent within our local community. This is our second year partnering with the GoggleWorks to showcase the artwork in a professional gallery setting.

Artists with disabilities will exhibit their creations through a variety of media, including painting, drawing, photography and sculpture.

From Abilities in Motion Executive Director:

“We are pleased to partner again with the GoggleWorks for this year’s celebration of the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The COVID-19 pandemic created extremely challenging times, so it is even more important to showcase stories of people with disabilities in their own expression of art. We are happy to bring awareness to their creative talent and abilities. Our hope is that this exhibition not only provides an
opportunity for the community to gain a better understanding of disability but also the importance of the ADA is to people with disabilities.”

The exhibition will launch from 10-12 on Monday July 26, 2021, with a drop-in meetand-greet and will run through Friday, July 31.

I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids.  This experience is more than the TV show.  Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference.
