Mission Statement

Arts for All is an organization which seeks to remove barriers to artistic success by connecting people to the resources necessary to create, promote, display and sell their art.

Values

Creating access to integrated and non-discriminative services and arts venues in the community.

Artists with developmental disabilities should not be denied access to institutions and education that facilitate a career in arts.

Art should be valued for its artistic merit - not because someone has a disability.

Works of art should be of highest artistic standards possible, in terms of choosing good quality materials to work with.

Works of art should be original and reflect the artist's unique vision.

Having a disability doesn't mean one is impaired in all areas. This is especially true in relation to the arts.

Creative expression can provide a voice for those whose voice is traditionally under-represented in society.

Artists, regardless of ability level, have much to share with each other - art is a common ground and a common language.
