All artists want their works to be seen and appreciated, and to head out into the world. Access to Independence helps make that a reality for Wisconsin artists with disabilities by sponsoring the annual Artists Beyond Boundaries exhibition, which takes place for a second year as a virtual gala. During the livestream, the 12 works chosen by a juried panel to be included in the group's 2022 calendar will be announced; all submitted works will also be exhibited, and viewers can vote for a 13th winner of the "people's choice award." Register here for the livestream; donations to help support the program can be made here.
press release: Artists Beyond Boundaries is an art event celebrating the talents of artists with disabilities living across the state of Wisconsin. This year’s fundraising event will be completely virtual!How does it work?
From June 1 to August 31, 2021, artists with disabilities of all skill levels are invited to submit up to two works of their art for a chance to win one of thirteen cash prizes. Because this year’s event is virtual, we will be asking artists to submit one high quality JPEG image of each piece they wish to submit.
Beginning in September, ACCESS will work with jurors from various visual arts organizations to determine which 12 works of art will be selected to win $200. These works of art will also be featured in our 2022 Artists Beyond Boundaries calendar!
On October 7, we will host a FREE live-stream gala featuring ALL of the artwork submitted to the event as well as announce this year’s top twelve works of art. This live stream event also serves as a fundraiser for our agency, and attendees will have the opportunities to make donations throughout the night. All money raised will go towards the programs and services that we provide to the people we serve!
Following the live event, we will ask viewers to choose the thirteenth and final winner by voting for the People’s Choice Award. All artworks submitted by artists who have not already received an award, are eligible for this prize. The People’s Choice Award winner will have their artwork featured on the Artists Beyond Boundaries calendar cover. The People’s Choice Award winner will also receive $200.
