Artability Art Show
2022 Artability Show
Details coming soon!
2021 Artability Show Virtual Edition
People Incorporated’s annual Artability Art Show celebrates art as a powerful force for self-expression, healing, and community mental health. The show, now in its 26th year, features a variety of artwork and writing pieces created by local artists 18 years of age or older who experience barriers to mental wellness.
We’ve contemplated new ways to share artist stories and artwork and we’ve made the decision to move the 2021 Artability Show to a virtual format to protect the health and safety of our communities.
The 2021 Artability Show Virtual Edition hopes to reflect on the events of the last year and how art, thoughtful conversations and coming together as a community can help us continue to heal, learn and grow.
Our Artability Show Virtual Edition premiere took place on November 5, 2021 at 3 p.m. on our Facebook and YouTube channels and our website.
