Since September 2019, Imagine Art AmeriCorps service members have empowered artists with disabilities to equally access arts opportunities alongside their non-disabled peers by teaching job readiness skills and providing a full spectrum of support including design, production, exhibition, and micro-business development. Imagine Art is at a pinnacle moment in its development, exemplified by the creation of Live + Make, a 66 unit low-income housing facility anchored by 8500 square feet of art studios, a gallery and community kitchen. We will be expanding the Imagine Art AmeriCorps Program to serve our clients in the areas of Food Industry practices, Peer Support and Long-Term Care. Imagine Art is recruiting to fill Member slots to serve as Half-Time and Full-Time AmeriCorps Members in the Imagine Arts AmeriCorps Program.
