| Established in 2003, Visionaries + Voices is a non-profit organization that provides exhibition opportunities, studio space, supplies, and support to more than 140 visual artists with disabilities. V+V artists actively contribute to the greater arts community through creative, educational, and strategic partnerships with local and regional artists, schools, and business leaders. Collectively, we are growing a more inclusive arts community in Greater Cincinnati.
VISION: We create a world in which artists with disabilities not only produce and share works of art, but are also given continuous opportunities to learn, develop professionally, collaborate, exhibit, and celebrate with community members. ARTISTS: Over 140 local artists attend the V+V studios. Artists use paint, clay, metal, fabric, colored pencils, ink, paper mache, collage, photography, assemblage, glass, wood, and digital materials. Artists support each other in an environment that encourages self-expression and creative growth. EXHIBITIONS: Helping to connect broader audiences to the work made in our studios, V+V artists exhibit regularly in galleries, museums, businesses, restaurants, and universities. Similarly, we strive to partner with art educators, artists, and curators within our community as collaborators in making objects, exhibitions, and programs. STUDIOS: Creative energy draws people in and brings them together. Within these studio walls dreams are painted boldly, inspiration is palpable, and community is among us. At V+V we are all on equal ground. There is a continual sharing of experiences from education, exhibition, and life. The studio staff hold BFAs in a variety of disciplines like printmaking, ceramics, painting, and drawing. Local artists generously volunteer their time and expertise. In the V+V studios we are resourceful and committed to facilitating the work each artist is driven to make. DOUBLE VISION: Double Vision is an opportunity for artists working at V+V to collaborate with artists working regionally and nationally. This partnership fosters lasting artistic relationships and opportunities for artistic growth. Gaining momentum since 2010, Double Vision is more dynamic and exciting each year. The event features live music, a silent auction and a live art auction. EDUCATION: V+V expands opportunities for artists who have an interest in teaching, speaking, and public leadership positions in the field of visual art. The Teaching Artist Program (TAP) supports those goals, while offering the community the opportunity to learn about art from a unique perspective. V+V artists who complete TAP courses bring lesson plans to classrooms, community centers, and partnering organizations all over greater Cincinnati. Each artist develops their own lesson plans customized to benefit students of all ages and abilities. |
