The great folks at Progressive Art Studio Collective, a public art gallery and studio for disabled artists in Detroit are looking to grow. They are trying to raise $50k by August 5th (they are already halfway there!) to win a matching grant MEDC’s Public Spaces Community Places initiative. This funding would help them build a new, beautiful, state-of-the-art permanent gallery and studio.
“This fully ADA accessible professional gallery and studio space will provide a platform for artists with developmental disabilities and/or mental health differences to create and share their creative expression with the community, offer them opportunities to build careers and earn an income from their chosen profession as an artist. This will be the first permanent public gallery and studio for artists with disabilities.”
