What is ARTWORKING? Artworking provides career-oriented support for artists with cognitive disabilities. We serve artists in our own studio workspace as well as in community and private settings such as an artist’s personal studio space or at public events, workshops, sales opportunities etc. We believe that in order for for any career pursuit to be successful that it must be enjoyable and rewarding, and careers in the creative arts are no exception to this rule. Additionally we believe that an artist must be in a continual state of creative growth in order to be professionally competitive in the field of visual art. ARTworking provides: • Professional oriented art mentorship and training for adult artists with cognitive disabilities. • Access to professional opportunities for artists with disabilities such as exhibitions, sales opportunities, leadership opportunities and projects based on newly emerging practices and philosophies. • Documentation of artwork and assistance with professional curriculum. • Support for artists entering the mainstream art community as trained professionals. • Built-in opportunities for participating artists to exercise control and authority over their environment and support structure. ARTworking is part of Work Opportunity in Rural Communities (WORC), a non-profit organization that has been providing community-based vocation support to adults with developmental disabilities since 1983. Our 2000 square foot studio is located at 1945 West Broadway, in Monona, WI 53713, between South Town Drive and Monona Drive near the South Beltline. |
