Outstanding Visual Artists living with Disabilities: The story of Arts Unbound

Gail Levinson is Executive Director of Arts Unbound, a studio and gallery promoting emerging and established artists with mental, physical and developmental disabilities. She will review the organization's mission, highlights of its 10 year history and some of the exciting and talented artists who are represented by the organization at our Sunday Platform at 11:00 AM on February 27th.

Gail has worked in the human services field in NJ for over 25 years. She became executive director of Arts Unbound in 2007. Since that time the organization has increased in size and scope, serving over 200 students monthly and providing exhibitions of fine art and craft throughout NJ. Arts Unbound hosts a teaching studio and gallery in the Valley Arts District of Orange, NJ. In 2010, the agency opened a holiday gift shop in Maplewood Village that has provided additional opportunity for sales and promotion of artwork made by persons living with special needs.
