What is a Community Gallery Sale?
Our gallery sales are vibrant, community-centered events held three times a year at various local businesses throughout Austin. These showcases are more than just art exhibits—they’re celebrations of creativity, individuality, and inclusion. Each sale provides a platform for artists with IDD to share their unique perspectives through their work, fostering connections between the artists and the community.
By attending a gallery sale, you’re not only supporting these talented artists but also contributing to a movement that values diversity and self-expression. Proceeds from the events go directly to the artists and our programs, helping to sustain opportunities for creativity and growth. These sales are a powerful way to highlight the talent within the IDD community and inspire others to embrace the beauty of inclusion.
Each year, we host three signature gallery sales, each with its own unique theme and vibrant atmosphere: Spring Show: Bark for The Arc, Summer Show: Paintings & Pints, and Fall Show: Art on the Rocks. Click below to explore each event, discover our creative themes, learn about sponsorship opportunities, and find out how you can get involved in celebrating and supporting the incredible talents of our artists.
