Gateway Arts provides professional career development for more than 100 adults with diverse diagnoses, strengths, and needs. Gateway works with adults with developmental disabilities, psychiatric disabilities, spectrum disorders, head injuries, and visual and hearing impairments, many of whom find it difficult or are unable to hold traditional jobs. Artists are encouraged to pursue unique and individualized careers, learn and develop new skills with the support of a professional staff of artists, and receive local and international recognition through Gateway’s gallery, store, and online presence. Consistent with fine art market standards, 50% of all art and craft sale proceeds are paid directly to the artist as commission.
