Welcome to the 2026 artAbility Showcase!
Sofia Bronaugh took the lead on artAbility for its 12th year with a focus on forgotten, vintage and classic art forms. She planned and executed six workshops over the course of the academic year, with a few notable local artists helping along the way. This included two tie dye workshops with Moscow legend Arlene Falcon, a stained glass painting on canvas workshop and two paper mache workshops. The final workshop of the year, led by Chelsey Byrd Lewallen, offered instruction on Sashiko – visible Japanese mending.
And in true artAbility fashion, we’re finishing the year off with our annual artAbility Showcase. The in-person event will be held at the 1912 Center, with this, our Digital Showcase, allowing those at a distance to enjoy and celebrate another year of artistic expression in the Moscow community.
