We are thrilled to share resident artist and studio assistant Toni Lane’s feature in “Washington City Paper.” The paper stopped by Toni’s Washington, DC residence to talk about her life, her dreams, and her work at Art Enables. Check out the article about the magnificent Toni Lane here.

  • Tune in to @morningedition tomorrow (Friday) to hear our interview with @wamu885 reporter @mikaelalefrak 👋🏼 #Repost @mikaelalefrak ・・・ It’s hard for any artist to make a living, but especially those with intellectual disabilities. This week I spoke to staff and artists at Art Enables, a gallery space and job training program in DC that helps artists with disabilities make and sell art. Hear the story Friday on @wamu885 during @morningedition. Photos by @tyronefoto.
  • Friends! We are so so close. Our wonderful Operations Associate Amy placed our 15th Red Dot this afternoon and we are beyond grateful. 5 more to go...we got this. Show up for our artists for just $5/month ❤️ www.art-enables.org/reddot
  • Friends, we have found ourselves on the last day of our summer campaign. 2 weeks ago we sat a goal to get 20 new Red Dot Monthly Donors and so far we’ve had 13 wonderful folks show their support for our resident artists. We are 7 new donors away from reaching our goal. Can we make it? Of course, but not without you! Join us for just $5/month. Let’s end on a high note! ❤️ www.art-enables.org/ reddot
  • Today we are celebrating the 29th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The first step the ADA took is to give people with disabilities the same employment opportunities as those without a disability. This is what we do for our artists every single day--just take a look at our 2018 stats above. Help us surpass these numbers, and create more opportunities for our artists to earn an income by becoming a Red Dot Monthly Donor now, www.art-enables.org/reddot⠀ ⠀ Today is the last day to sign up and help us reach our goal of 20 new Red Dot Donors. We only have 8 new donors to go--will you be one of them?
  • You have heard it before, $5 a month—the price of a cup of coffee—really makes a difference in the success of our mission. ☕️ Well, the reason you’ve heard it so many time is because it is true! When you give $5, and 10 others do it too, it adds up. And for us it adds up to quality art materials, professional support, and a bright and beautiful studio for our artists. Become a Red Dot Donor at $5 a month and make a HUGE difference! ❤️ www.art-enables.org/reddot PS: when you join our community by tomorrow, July 26 we will send you a signed limited-edition print by one of our artists.
  • Wow! We are beyond grateful! You all are showing up for our artists today. Thank you to #8, #9, and #10 for joining our amazing community of Red Dot Donors. We are now officially halfway to our goal. ❤️ We got our Studio & Gallery Manager, Allie, in on the fun of placing a Red Dot along with artists Toni and Eric! To get in on the fun, join now at www.art-Enables.org/reddot
