Visionaries + Voices is an inclusive arts organization providing creative, professional, and educational opportunities for adults with disabilities.
The concept for Visionaries + Voices emerged in 2001 when Keith Banner and Bill Ross curated an exhibition in Base Gallery for artists Paul Rowland, Richard Brown, Antonio Adams, and Raymond Thunder-Sky. Bill and Keith both worked for county boards serving individuals with disabilities and met these artists over the course of their work. After that initial exhibition, more opportunities arose to organize shows and present the work of artists with disabilities.
Artwork by (top left to bottom right): Curtis Davis + Nicole Scholten, Niki Keiser + Olivia Moore, Neil Dignan + Gary Gaffney, Braxton Thomas+ Tory Keith, Carlos Perez + Courtney Combs-Mock, John Nusekabel + Jacqueline Picton, and Anne Gerhardt + Sophie Harrison.
