The More, The Merrier

It’s the season of giving, and NIAD is brimming with one-of-a-kind gifts for everyone you love. Each artwork is handmade by one of the more than 75 artists with intellectual and developmental disabilities working in our 23rd Street and Virtual Studios, and each has a story to tell.

Our online gallery offers just a glimpse of the treasures waiting to be discovered in our 23rd Street Gallery. Join us for a special preview of our annual holiday show and get first pick of printed and embroidered pillows, eclectic earrings and jewelry, vibrant portraits of people and animals alike, sculptural beer mugs, funky abstract works, affordable limited-edition prints, tender text-based pieces, original tees and tote bags, and plenty of other delightful surprises.

The festivities continue on December 12 with NIAD’s annual Holiday Spectacular! Bring your friends and family for a joyful afternoon of free art-making workshops, music, food, and good company. It’s a celebration of creativity, community, and the pleasures of giving and gathering together. After all, the more, the merrier!
