And yet, we must rejoice!

NIAD invites you to be inspired by joy as a form of resilience. We're sharing just a slice of our abundant holiday exhibition at 23rd Street with you online!

Join us for the opening reception, November 8, 1:00-4:00 PM at the NIAD galleries featuring more art. It is a free event with food, drinks, and music featuring the jazz ensemble - The Bryant Bolling Quintet. Click here for more information.

Gathering as a community, family, and friends catalyzes the effervescent power of love and hope we need for the future.

In this holiday season, the thriving artistic community at NIAD showcases how joy is a “not so secret” ingredient that keeps our collective heartbeat pumping!

At NIAD, the spirit of joy spills over into the artworks that make up our everyday lives. This exhibition features the handmade pieces  meant to adorn your home, such as a favorite mug, a cozy blanket, or an inspiring painting. What’s more, every work you buy directly supports an artist with intellectual and developmental disabilities here at our Art Center. 

Join us in celebrating NIAD artists and their bright, colorful, and beautiful art that can change our everyday lives for the better.
