Art That Opens Doors

The event continues CCARC's longstanding Annual Art Show, featuring artwork created by participants in our Artistic Expressions enrichment program. Alongside the gallery exhibit, artists in our Artistic Expressions Internship will operate their own booth within the Holiday Market, showcasing and selling artwork they've created throughout their internship. 

By welcoming local artists, makers, and vendors to participate in the market, we're creating opportunities for internship participants to connect with fellow creatives, gain real-world experience, and learn what it takes to grow as an artist and entrepreneur.

 “The CCARC Art Program gives people with IDD a wonderful chance to explore their creativity and develop new skills through different forms of art. Their work is showcased each year at the CCARC Art Show, where they take great pride in what they’ve accomplished—often selling their pieces and gaining a real sense of confidence and ownership. I was fortunate to purchase a piece from this event. It’s a beautiful program that brings joy and meaning to everyone involved.”
