Inclusion in the Arts. Find the Grassroots Arts and Community Effort (GRACE) workshops and fine art in our online Digital Archive or out and about in the community.
Studio Arts Workshop
Formerly known as the GRACE Workshops, Studio Arts Workshops are an opportunity for participants to develop independence and agency when making art. Facilitators work individually with participants to help them develop their individual studio practice.
At Inclusive Arts Classes, participants learn new creative skills, make uplifting artwork, and connect with community. Instructors teach projects in a variety of mediums and subjects that can be adapted for any ability. Classes will incorporate thematic projects to align with upcoming GRACE Gallery exhibitions, and participants may submit their projects to be exhibited in the GRACE Gallery to be enjoyed at public, seasonal gallery openings.
Inclusive Arts Classes
Fine Art Collections
Over the years, the GRACE Community Workshops yielded an enormous body of artwork by the workshop participants. Many of those pieces have been left to us to exhibit, sell, and protect.
The Digital Archive features over 35 artists with a combined collection of 600 artworks. Explore them all.
