The Difference You Make: A Legacy Forged by You

Every artist is deeply valued. That is the world Access Gallery works to create.

You are the driving force behind a community where every artist's passion is celebrated, not diminished. Your partnership directly combats the disheartening statistics of unemployment for people with disabilities, creating a vibrant, safe, and stronger community for all.

For 48 years, you have been the foundation of our community built to champion artists with disabilities. This legacy of empowerment and inclusion has anchored our vital presence in Denver's Art District on Santa Fe for the last two decades.

Witness the Values You Champion

In our Gallery, Studio, and Digital Art Lab, your generosity creates the supportive environment where every Access Gallery artist feels seen and heard. You foster an atmosphere where artists, staff, and volunteers thrive through a deep commitment to integrity and honesty.

You champion innovation right alongside us, constantly helping us transform possibilities into realities. From the hands-on creativity in the Studio to the Digital Art Lab's cutting-edge creations, and the exhibitions in the Gallery, your gift empowers Access Gallery artists to explore new mediums and enrich our shared community with their unique perspectives and contributions.

At our core, you champion accessibility, helping us actively dismantle barriers and champion equitable opportunities through relentless advocacy, education, and collaboration. We believe art is for everyone, and thanks to you, every voice can participate, express, and thrive.

Your Call to Action: Secure Their Future Today

The programs within our Studio, Digital Art Lab and Gallery all provide economic opportunities and essential career skills to Access Gallery artists with disabilities.

The future of these vital programs is uncertain without you.

Your donation today is a commitment to their future over the next 20 years. With your support, we can ensure these programs continue to grow, empowering Access Gallery artists and enriching our entire community. Join us in our mission. Donate today and help us write the next chapter of our shared legacy.



Mission

Access Gallery is an inclusive nonprofit organization that engages the community by opening doors to creative, educational, and economic opportunities for people with disabilities to access, experience and benefit from the arts.

Background Statement

As a leader in accessible arts and creating economic opportunities for artists with disabilities in Colorado, Access Gallery (formerly VSA Colorado/Access Gallery) has served the community since 1978. Access Gallery believes disability is a creative asset and advances its mission in three ways:

Access Gallery: A professional gallery space located in the heart of the Arts District on Santa Fe featuring and selling the work of local and national artists with disabilities.

Access Studio: An inclusive, free community studio where artists build their skill sets across a variety of visual arts mediums.

Access Social Enterprise: A social enterprise that provides a wide range of professional art & design services to individuals, businesses, and organizations including, but not limited to, graphic design, corporate art commissions, and murals.

By creating open and inclusive spaces, we bring people together to break down social barriers and learn from each other.
