Create Purpose and Community Today!
For 25 years, our community has been guided by our founding principles, putting equity, inclusivity, and creativity first. Every dollar you contribute confirms that our artists will neither be cast aside nor forgotten.
We strongly believe that adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities should not be restricted to living and working in one facility. Organizations like Arts of Life play a vital role in the state’s efforts to deinstitutionalize and ensure a high quality of life for all of its residents.
We face our most dire funding challenges to date. Over the past year alone, we lost more than 40% of our traditional grant funding. At the same time, Arts of Life’s largest earned revenue source, Medicaid, is being threatened like never before. The ramifications will be devastating to our artists.
Will you join us now to ensure that marginalized voices are heard?

- International Art Fairs
- Continue to expand program enrollment
None of this would be possible without your support. Our artists are ready to put their stamp on the art world. Will you join them?
