ASPIE is a nonprofit organization that empowers adults with cognitive disabilities to become more self-sufficient. We provide special-needs artists with a virtual gallery to display their work, which includes premium quality paintings, jewelry, woodwork, photography and other forms of art and craft. The donations to this site provide these artists with sustainable supplemental earnings that do not interfere with their government benefits.
ASPIE artists are disabled adults who have talent and skills and medium- to high-functioning capabilities, yet cannot operate well within a typical work environment. We create and arrange affordable, secure and appropriate housing for those who can be more independent and give them a means to participate in their own financial support. The ASPIE gallery is free to our artists and they receive at least 80 percent of every donation. The result is an increased level of independence in a society where social services are shrinking and mainstream job opportunities are very limited.
The opening of ASPIE’s physical gallery in Lancaster is an exciting milestone for our organization and the community. This new space is more than just a gallery—it is a hub where artists with disabilities can come together to showcase their incredible talents, connect with others, and engage in art classes, workshops, and social events. By offering a welcoming, accessible environment, we provide not only a venue for artists to display their work, but also a vital resource for the disability community to learn, grow, and be supported. The gallery is a place where creativity flourishes, and the voices of talented artists with disabilities are heard and valued.
