THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED IN-PART THROUGH OUR STUDIO STUDIO SPACE, WHICH IS STRATEGICALLY LOCATED IN THE HEART OF THE ARTS COMMUNITY AT NW MARINE ARTWORKS. NW MARINE ARTWORKS IS PORTLAND'S LARGEST COLLABORATIVE OF PROFESSIONAL ARTIST STUDIOS-- IN THIS LOCATION, WE FACILITATE MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS AND COLLABORATION BETWEEN ARTISTS WITH AND WITHOUT DISABILITIES. CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE OTHROUGHOUT 2021, WE HAVE DEEPENED THIS PARTNERSHIP THROUGH CONSISTENT PARTICIPATION IN OPEN STUDIO EVENTS, HOLIDAY CRAFT FAIRS, AND ARTIST COLLABORATIONS. IN 2021, WE HOSTED OVER 15 IN-PERSON EXHIBITIONS BOTH LOCALLY AND NATIONALLY-- ARTISTS EXHIBITED WORK FROM MINNESOTA TO TEXAS. ADDITIONALLY, WE HOSTED ONLINE EXHIBITIONS EVERY OTHER MONTH SHOWING DIVERSE WORK CREATED BY ARTISTS WITH DISABILITIES IN THE BROADER COMMUNITY. MOST NOTABLY, WE SUPPORTED A LOW-INCOME ARTIST WITH SECURING THE FUNDING TO APPLY TO THE PRESTIGOUS OUTSIDER ART FAIR IN NEW YORK CITY WHERE HIS WORK WILL BE SHOWN IN SPRING OF 2022. IN DECEMBER, WE CURATED AND HOSTED OUR FIRST LARGE-SCALE GROUP EXHIBITION IN PUBLIC EXHIBITION SPACE, BUILDING 5. THIS EXHIBITION AND ART SALE RESULTED IN OVER $5,000 IN INDIVIDUAL ART SALES AND WAS WIDELY ATTENDED BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS. WE CULTIVATED LASTING PARTNERSHIPS WITH NUMEROUS LIKE-MINDED ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS PHAME, DOGTOPIA, WACOM, AND MOONSTRUCK CHOCOLATE, CO.. THROUGH THESE PARTNERSHIPS, ARTISTS LED WORKSHOPS, CO-LED DEI TRAININGS, WERE INTERVIEWED FOR NEWS ARTICLES, WERE COMMISSIONED FOR PUBLIC-FACING WORK, AND PARTICIPATED IN COMMUNITY ARTS EVENTS. THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH MOONSTRUCK CHOCOLATE, AN EMERGING ARTIST RECIEVED A LIFE-TIME CONTRACT FOR THE LICENSURE OF HIS WORK ON CHOCOLATE BAR PACKAGING.

THIS POPULATION IS ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE DUE TO THE ABRUPT TERMINATION OF SERVICES AND SUPPORT THAT OCCURS DURING THE TRANSITION FROM HIGH SCHOOL INTO ADULTHOOD. OUR WEEKLY CLASSES AND ONGOING WORKSHOPS PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS 16 AND OLDER TO ACCESS ARTS PROGRAMMING. IN 2021, WE PROVIDED BOTH DIGITAL AND IN-PERSON ART CLASSES WHICH COVERED A WIDE RANGE OF MATERIALS AND METHODS SUCH AS LIFE-DRAWING, SCULPTURE, COLLAGE, PRINTMAKING, AND OTHERS.CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE OIN THE FALL, WE PILOTED A TEACHING ARTIST PROGRAM WHICH ENGAGES PORTLAND ARTISTS AS VOLUNTEER INSTRUCTORS. THESE CLASSES WERE OFFERED DURING EACH TERM (SPRING, FALL, WINTER, SPRING) WITH A CAPACITY OF 8 STUDENTS PER CLASS DUE TO THE COVID-SAFETY POLICY. CLASSES WERE CONSISTENTLY WAITLISTED, AND WERE ATTENDED BY LOCAL AND OUT-OF-STATE ARTISTS. WORKSHOPS AND POP-UP EVENTS ARE CREATED BASED ON ARTIST-REQUEST. THROUGHOUT 2021, WE HOSTED A FREE, FRIDAY ART SALON; DIGITAL ARTIST MEET-UP AT WACOM; VIRTUAL READINGS AND ART SHARES, AND A DRAWING CLUB. THIS INTERMITTENT PROGRAMMING WAS OFFERED AT ZERO COST, WITH THE INTENTION OF PROVIDING ACCESSIBLE PROGRAMMING FOR INDIVIDUALS FROM DIVERSE SOCIO-ECONMIC CIRCUMSTANCES.
