The new Arts Access Gallery in downtown Raleigh is dedicated to showcasing and selling the work of artists with disabilities — the only one in the region. The small, intimate space is the perfect venue to immerse yourself in a rotating slate of different artists throughout the year. Visitors will also get a chance to participate in artist talkbacks and related events.
The Arts Access gallery also hosts a permanent collection with pieces from artists such as acrylic painters Angela Dawson, Rachard McIntyre and Wiley Johnson.
