CONGRATULATIONS, QUINN! NEW ARTIST!

Please help us give a HUGE welcome to Quinn Fletcher, the newest artist to join The Luckiest Light!

Quinn is a talented photographer whose unique perspective and one of a kind photographs are now on display in our gallery for the community to enjoy. Through his photography, Quinn captures the beauty, details, colors, and moments that catch his eye, inviting viewers to pause and experience the world from his perspective.

This is a big milestone for Quinn Fletcher. This is Quinn’s first time having his photography featured in a gallery! We are incredibly proud of Quinn for sharing his work, creativity, and vision. We fell in love with his photographs, and we cannot wait for our community to experience them too.

Congratulations, Quinn! We are so happy you’re here, and we can’t wait to watch your journey as an artist continue. Come visit The Luckiest Light and see Quinn’s work for yourself!

Make Art. Be Kind.

The Luckiest Light exists because people like YOU believe that inclusion should be something we experience, create, and carry with us every day.

To every donor, volunteer, artist, family, business, sponsor, and community member who has supported us, thank you! Your generosity helps us keep our doors open, provide accessible art supplies and opportunities, welcome artists with and without disabilities side by side, and create a space where people can walk through the door exactly as they are.

And today, we want to give a very special THANK YOU to Danny’s Deli Havre de Grace for their recent donation and for choosing to support The Luckiest Light through their T-shirt fundraiser!

This is exactly what community support can look like. Every act of generosity becomes part of something bigger.

You can host a T-shirt fundraiser.
You can sponsor an art class.
You can make a donation.
You can ask your business to partner with us.
You can share our mission with 10 people.
You can volunteer your time or your talent.

Create something with us. Because when we invest in art, accessibility, belonging, and human connection, we aren’t just supporting a nonprofit. We’re building a community where everyone belongs.

If you’d like to help us continue this work, you can donate here:

Thank you Kari, Matthew, Thea, Kevin, and Hannah for being a part of today’s self advocate panel. Thank you Kari for sharing your exhibit with Harford county for the last two months and thank you for advocating on behalf of individuals living in our community.
Today we had a wonderful turnout and discussed disability history, education, institutionalization, employment, and more! Thanks to the self advocates who shared their lived experiences and opening our eyes to the work that needs to be done to better our world for everyone sharing it. Thank you to everyone who came to listen and join in during the open discussion. Today was moving and also a reminder of why The Luckiest Light exists. If you’d like our help in making your organization meaningfully inclusive and accessible we have a lot of self advocates who would love to meet you.
Thank you all again!

THANK YOU for supporting The Luckiest Light, our mission, and our artists.

The Luckiest Light is a studio and gallery where we invite true inclusion to happen…not just at 220 N. Washington, but to follow everyone when they walk out our doors.

We welcome adult artists with and without disabilities to create, learn, and commission artwork side by side. Proceeds help provide art supplies and keep our space accessible. We offer optional instruction from artists of all abilities and welcome everyone to walk through our doors unapologetically, exactly as they are.

The Luckiest Light exists solely through donations, and we are incredibly grateful for every person who has believed in what we are building. Your support makes this possible.

Registration is now open for next month, and we cannot wait to see you!

Next week, we will be changing exhibits, and we are so grateful to Kari and Ani Miller for trusting us with, To Whom It May Concern. This exhibition has started important conversations about inclusion, education, and MORE!

Tomorrow, from 12–3 PM, join us for Kari’s Self Advocate Panel. This is an opportunity to listen, learn, and take a step into the experiences of individuals who share our community.

There is so much to look forward to. Thank you for being part of it!

Make Art. Be Kind.

Congratulations, Michael, on completing your first large weaving! This hand woven tapestry has taken weeks. You have worked so hard on this piece, and we love seeing you come into The Luckiest Light with your community support staff, Laura.

Inclusion goes beyond opening a door. It means ensuring someone is meaningfully supported in doing what they love, while honoring their autonomy, dignity, and choices.

Laura, watching you with Michael has been an absolute honor. You provide the kind of dignified support and autonomy that I pray my own daughter experiences throughout her life in the community.

Thank you both for bringing your positivity, creativity, and passion for art to The Luckiest Light. We are so grateful to have you here.

Make Art. Be Kind.

A Birthday Wish Come True 🧡⚾️

My birthday wish came true today, and I truly can’t thank everyone enough for bringing the Baltimore Orioles to meet our incredibly talented artists at The Luckiest Light.

Joe Orsulak, thank you for taking the time to truly see our artists. Thank you for sitting down with everyone, getting to know them, and taking the time to gift them autographed cards. Thank you for sharing stories about your Little League experience and your days in NYC. Thank you for holding Jake’s hand, meeting Hoven’s family, and taking a moment to witness the magic each artist brings to Havre de Grace.

And thank you to the Baltimore Orioles for sending the absolute raddest Oriole Bird our way! Every artist loved showing him their work, taking one on one photos, enjoying the piano performance, and, of course, dancing!

The level of happiness that filled our studio today was tremendous. Honestly, it was everything I could have wished for. My heart is full, and I’m still smiling from ear to ear.

And I have a few more wishes. 🫠🙃🙏🏽 If anyone can help me make them come true for our artists, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I want the world to know about the magic these artists bring to their community, and I could use a few more wonderful friends willing to come meet them, support them, and experience that magic for themselves.

Matt Ellis, thank you for taking the time to kindly blast emails to the Orioles and for always showing up for our artists. Your support means more than you know.

The Luckiest Light is genuinely grateful and filled with a level of gratitude that simply can’t be put into words. Thank you all for making art and being kind. This is what inclusion looks like. This is what community feels like. And this is the magic our artists bring.
