by Art Enables
Founded in 2001 by Joyce Muis-Lowery, Art Enables is Washington, DC's only nonprofit dedicated to providing supported employment and vocational opportunities for adult visual artists with disabilities. Artists work in a professional studio at 2204 Rhode Island Ave NE and have shown work locally, nationally, and internationally.
Art Enables runs three major programmes: Studio Art, where artists create in a fully equipped professional studio; Exhibitions and Gallery, which has hosted over 200 exhibitions since founding; and Community Arts, which connects artists to broader public engagement. Artists receive 70% of proceeds from every piece sold and build vocational skills for sustainable art careers.
Art Enables serves adult artists with physical, intellectual, developmental, and psychiatric disabilities in Washington, DC. The programme provides not just creative opportunity but real employment pathways and income-generating careers in the visual arts.
AbleGamers is a nonprofit that combats social isolation for people with disabilities through the power of gaming.
