About Us

Our Mission Statement
To empower adults with disabilities and their caregivers using Fashion, Art and Design on their path to achieve artistic recognition, dignity and financial independence.

We focus on three areas:
• ActiveArt: Inclusive field trips where our “Creatives” connect with local artists, explore various mediums, and engage with the community.
• ArtAbilities: Hands-on sessions where participants discover and develop their artistic talents across ceramics, acting, dancing, painting, and textile arts.
• FashionAble:
Our FashionAble 101 is tailored programs designed to meet the abilities of each participant or the needs of partnering organizations.
Our Follow The Thread initiative is a 20-week entrepreneurial program where creative teams (adults with disabilities and caregivers) learn sustainable fashion techniques, e-commerce photography, branding, and business planning. Graduates leave with business cards, a catalog, an online presence, and a collection showcased at our FashionFest.

Ribbon Cuttings

Pictures are always better with a banner, or sign and designated area to set up for photography. Identify the best place for the picture in advance to ensure a smooth event.

The Chamber of Commerce Membership Services Associate will arrive 20 minutes before the start of the event with a camera, ribbon, and scissors. They will assist in choosing the best position for the photo, if necessary. The person selected to cut the ribbon will be directed and assisted as to where to stand during the picture and how to handle the scissors.

Ambassadors of the Chamber of Commerce will hold the ribbon as the ribbon is cut. Ambassadors meet and greet your guests. Photographer will prompt you when to cut the ribbon, after several photos taken of the group are posed and ready.

We look forward to a great event!
