The 2022 Art of Possibilities Art Show & Sale (Art of Possibilities) featured 460 pieces of original fine art from 143 participating artists. There were two in-person receptions and an online show with all artwork available for purchase. In total the two in-person receptions brought in 250-300 guests. This is a unique opportunity that does not often exist for artists with disabilities. Artists with received 100% of art sale proceeds, an opportunity not typically available to them. The impact of this project extended beyond the arts community into the wider disability community providing an opportunity for artists of all abilities to showcase their work. Many of the artists featured in the show were repeat participants and shared that they look forward to it all year because it creates a space for them in the arts community. We collected outcome information through tracking artists participating, total number of artwork submitted, informal conversations with artists, and surveys.
