"Colors of Ability"
July 1st through September 24th, 2025

EXHIBITION DATES: JULY 1 – SEPTEMBER 24, 2025

FIRST FRIDAY RECEPTION: AUGUST 1, 2025

Step into the vibrant world of "Colors of Ability," an exhibition where we celebrate the dazzling array of bright colors that ignite our imaginations and stir our emotions. Calling all artists, regardless of your preferred medium or style – whether you’re inspired by a paintbrush on canvas, mold clay, or use your camera to capture beauty all around you – we invite you to infuse your creations with the vibrant energy of vivid colors.

Let your creativity run wild as you explore the kaleidoscope of colors, from the bold brilliance of sunshine yellows to the deep richness of ocean blues. Whether your art is an explosion of abstract shapes or a meticulously detailed landscape, let each stroke and each shade tell a story and evoke a feeling.

But it's not just about creating beautiful art; it's about making a meaningful impact. With each vibrant stroke, you're not only showcasing your talent but also shining a light on the incredible work of Ability KC, a local nonprofit organization that empowers individuals with disabilities through outpatient medical rehabilitation and community independence support. Art sales benefit Ability KC and their mission to help individuals recovering from serious illnesses, injuries and disabilities, and their families, build brighter futures and reach their greatest potential. Whether a person is dealing with a congenital or acquired condition, Ability KC helps individuals of all ages regain their independence through educational, vocational, and therapeutic services.

Artists of all abilities are encouraged to participate in this exhibition.

Artworks may include: paintings, photography, 3D pieces, fiber works, jewelry, and much more! 50% of sold artwork sales will go directly to artists, with the remaining 50% benefiting Ability KC. 

Please limit the number of submissions to a maximum of 5. There is no entry fee to submit for this exhibition.
