Welcome to a milestone year at Art Enables! In 2026, we celebrate 25 years of championing the creative careers of artists with disabilities, and we’re kicking off this anniversary season with a packed schedule of exhibitions, workshops, and community events that reflect the vibrancy and vision of our studio. 

 

This year’s Winter/Spring lineup offers countless opportunities to experience the work of our resident artists. If you’re eager to get hands-on, our free, family-friendly Saturday Workshops invite you to make your own art each month. And for those who love an evening out, our Opening Receptions give you the chance to explore our latest shows, meet our artists, and enjoy an energizing night in the gallery. 

 

As we look ahead to a landmark anniversary, we’re thrilled to host our Art Enables at 25: Piece of Cake Gala in May 2026. This birthday celebration of community, creativity, and the next chapter of Art Enables is an event you won’t want to miss. 

 

At Art Enables, we believe that art can transform cities, communities, and lives. Our 2026 season honors that legacy and invites you to be part of what comes next.
