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.

Acts of Devotion

Dani Boyd, Rosalind Bush, Matt Cavanaugh, Courttney Cooper, Neil Dignan, Brian Dooley, Lizzy DuQuette, Sam Fanning, Megan Godsey, Tyler Hamilton, Amy Hayden, William Howell, Nick Kraft, Adam Maloney, John Nuskabel, and Sanders Paul.
