About Abilities In Art:
The Abilities In Art project began in 2013 by Tyler Morris to help raise awareness of the over 200,000 people with disabilities living in our community. The project utilizes wheelchairs to create beautiful works of art that empower and educate in a fun atmosphere.
As of this year, Abilities In Art has expanded into an entire artist collective, with a growing event series of pop-up marketplaces and exhibits showcasing all types of art and abilities.
Ways to Get Involved:
- Showcase/Sell your creations!
