by NIAD Art Center
Founded in 1982 in Richmond, California by Florence Ludins-Katz and Dr. Elias Katz, NIAD Art Center is one of the United States' oldest progressive art studios for adults with disabilities. Originally the National Institute for Artists with Disabilities, it now operates as Nurturing Independence through Artistic Development, with a staff of 30 creative professionals supporting 75 studio artists.
NIAD supports artists working five days a week, six hours a day, across drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, fabric arts, creative writing, and digital arts. Artwork is sold through NIAD's online gallery and store — 50% of all proceeds go directly to the artists — and works appear in galleries and institutional collections nationally.
