The Arts Access Gallery — open from March 2024 to December 2025 — in downtown Raleigh was dedicated to showcasing and selling the work of artists with disabilities. The small, intimate space offered a rotating slate of different artists throughout the year. The gallery also hosted free artist talks, classes and other art-related events. The gallery was at 444 S. Blount Street in Raleigh.
In December 2025, the organization changed direction. We are focusing on partnerships around the Triangle and throughout North Carolina to exhibit the artwork of artists with disabilities.
