About this resource

About

Interact Center for the Visual & Performing Arts was established in 1996 in Saint Paul's Midway neighborhood with a mission to create art that challenges perceptions of disability. It remains the only U.S. organization simultaneously producing professional-level theater and visual art entirely by artists with disabilities, and its work has debuted at the Outsider Art Fair in New York.

What It Does

Interact's Visual Arts studio supports 70+ artists working across painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, clay, and textiles, providing a fully accessible studio and all art supplies at no cost. Its Theater ensemble of 40+ actors with disabilities produces original, fully staged productions each season to professional standards.

Who It Helps

Adults with physical, intellectual, developmental, and other disabilities in the Twin Cities region who are pursuing professional-level visual art or performing arts careers within an inclusive, peer-centered creative community.
