Allina Health's Art of Possibilities Art Show & Sale: Beyond Boundaries

Join us for the 63rd annual celebration of abilities and fine art!

Allina Health Foundation invites artists with disabilities to submit artwork to the Art of Possibilities Art Show & Sale.  

Art of Possibilities (AOP) has grown from a forum for people with disabilities to sell their work to a major showcase of fine art. The artwork is representative of those we serve featuring artists who face physical and mental health challenges. Art of Possibilities is proud to partner with and inspire people to maximize their health and abilities to achieve lives of purpose and potential.

The mission of Art of Possibilities is to celebrate the talent of artists with disabilities and provide artist opportunity. AOP does not require an entry fee for participation and returns 100% of the art sales directly to the artist!

ART OF POSSIBILITIES ART SHOW & SALE

Art of Possibilities Art Show & Sale (AOP) is a project of the Allina Health Foundation and Courage Kenny Rehabilitation Institute (CKRI). It is one of only a handful of juried art shows in the world exclusively featuring artists with disabilities.  The first of its kind and held every year since 1963, the Art Show & Sale is a much-anticipated celebration of fine arts attracting hundreds of artists and thousands of visitors from Minnesota and around the world. AOP provides a forum for artists with disabilities to sell their work, promotes the talents of artists with disabilities, and creates a cherished and inclusive community event for people of all abilities.

A MISSION OF WHOLE PERSON CARE

Art of Possibilities Art Show & Sale embodies Allina Health’s vision of whole person care bringing together mind, body, spirit, and community into the healing process. Art goes beyond physical health and benefits patients, families, caregivers, and all of us who experience it. AOP celebrates the abilities of artists and inspires individuals who come to Courage Kenny for therapy and rehabilitation who face similar barriers.

A CELEBRATION IN QUALITY VISUAL ARTS
