ArtWorking provides career-oriented support for artists and entrepreneurs with developmental disabilities. ArtWorking currently works with nearly 40 individual artists and small businesses. Artist mentors and staff have extensive experience in fine art, small business management, product development, benefits management, and human services.

ArtWorking is open from 8:30am-4:30pm, Monday-Friday. Internships are offered only within this time frame. Most artists arrive and depart between 9am and 3:30 pm, so active artist engagement is highest during those hours.

Our Goal for Interns: We strive to provide interns with an enriching experience both working in a person-centered role supporting artists and entrepreneurs with disabilities, as well as serving the nonprofit as a whole, via studio projects, event prep, and/or shop support. It is our hope that interns develop productive, professional, and gratifying relationships with the artists and entrepreneurs they support, while gaining a deeper understanding of professional service and advocacy for individuals with disabilities. Establishing relationships and work practices that not only satisfy course requirements but also foster growth by way of direct service is our ultimate goal.
