All artists want their works to be seen and appreciated, to head out into the world. The Artists Beyond Boundaries competition and fundraiser makes that possible via this program from Access to Independence. Artists with disabilities have already been invited to submit works of art to the competition. Tonight, participants in the virtual gala can see all the art submitted, learn which 12 works a juried panel chose to be included in the group's 2021 calendar and vote on the "people's choice award." More info on donating, participating and voting here and view the livestream here. (Pictured is artist Blake Edison.)
press release: Access to Independence presents its third annual (and first virtual) Artists Beyond Boundaries event! This event is a fun and unique way to celebrate the talents of artists with disabilities across Wisconsin!
For the past three months, we've invited artists with disabilities to submit up to two works of art for a chance to win one of 13, $200 awards, and be featured in our 2021 Artists Beyond Boundaries calendar.
We've partnered with three jurors from the Madison Museum of Contemporary Arts and the Monroe Street Arts Center to help us determine this year's winning pieces!
Join us on October 8 via a Facebook live-stream event at 7pm, as we reveal the top 12 works of art from the event. We'll also provide information on how YOU can vote for the 13th and final winner!
Artists Beyond Boundaries is also a fundraiser that supports the work of Access to Independence. Access to Independence provides advocacy, resources, and services to people of any type of disability, and of all ages, in south-central Wisconsin. Funds raised support the programs and services provided!
