We are an organization run by women. Two single moms, making an impact in the city they grew up in, with nothing but the support of our community, friends, and family… & I have to be honest, most of those people are women - Strong, smart, resourceful, thoughtful, beautiful women.

So swipe for my sad attempt to fit as many of these women as I could in 10 photos, but there are SO MANY MORE. THANK YOU to our 90% female board, volunteers, & ALL our ART GIRLS - we love u. We Celebrate YOU!

Not just an art gallery🪴 is a progressive art-based recreational day program for adults with intellectual & developmental disabilities. By providing a working art gallery that functions as an art studio for our Resident Artists, we are able to provide our participants the opportunity to explore their own self expression while reaching individual self determination goals. We strive to provide a space conducive to creativity and personal growth for people of all abilities. ODS founders and board members act in alignment with ODS core values by encouraging open discussion, diverse and innovative ideas, and accountability.

The following are our ODS Core Values:
Belonging - Everyone has value in the community. Everyone deserves to feel that they are valued. Equity and diversity are necessary for belonging.
Autonomy - Every adult deserves to live a self-determined life. Everyone deserves to be presumed competent.
Art is essential - Creative expression is important for everyone’s mental well-being. Art allows people from different cultures and abilities to communicate and connect with each other. Art allows people to express themselves and understand diverse viewpoints.
Collaboration - We are better as a team & community. Every contribution has value. The more diverse our experiences and connections are, the more opportunities we have to learn and grow.
Innovation - We strive to cultivate inspiration and growth by introducing new experiences and encouraging original ideas, diverse opinions, and bold risk-taking. We value progress over perfection, and foster creativity that challenges constraints and drives progress.

Our Mission
Our mission is to promote inclusion, diversity, and representation to uplift local arts through our mentorship program for adults with disabilities.

We strive to partner with local, diverse organizations with similar goals for awareness and acceptance to create opportunities and connections for our participants.

Looking for volunteers & sponsors 🌱contact us if you are aligned with our values - or click on our bio to donate to our 2 year anniversary fundraiser💫
