Art in the Round supports people with developmental disabilities as artists with talent to be shared. Their talents and skills are also shared in the marketplace as employees contributing to companies’ bottom lines and earning a paycheck. People with disabilities work in foodservice, as technicians and administrative aides, and in production facilities across the region. Many of the Art in the Round artists work full time, others want to work.
Since Covid, 35 new companies have hired people we support, meaning we now work with over 100 employers. This year’s Fund the Mission asks you to help us keep the momentum going.
Help open a door, provide a job interview, or donate to keep our employment team in position to train and market our workforce, so that more people with disabilities can have a chance to prove themselves. Please give your most generous gift – or set-up a personal fundraising page here on the site; invite others to join you in bringing meaningful work to those who are ready to work.
My Story
Each year, the Art in the Round showcases artwork from a number of individuals supported by the Arc Baltimore. I am always inspired and impressed with the pieces that are entered, and have won (and lost) bids on a number of them over time. Thank you for supporting this important event and the artists who are featured. The experience is tremendously meaningful to the individuals (and the successful bidders)!
