Envisions Art Gallery and Community Engagement Center

Nation's First Art Gallery Made By and For Artists Who are Blind or Visually Impaired

We are a group of artists, friends and collaborators working and growing together in our creative explorations and artistic journeys.

We are blind. We have low vision. We are disabled. We are differently-abled. We are women. We are men. We are elders. We are children. We are Black. We are Asian. We are Indigenous. We are Latinx. We are queer. We are American. We are Immigrants. We are friends. We are your neighbors. We are artists. We are creative. We are resilient. We are a community.

The Envision Arts Gallery is the premier, national destination for artists and audiences who are blind, visually impaired and/or disabled.

Our mission is to empower these amazing individuals to exhibit, perform and engage our community through this accessible, diverse, and inclusive space for the arts.

SENSES : Community and Youth Arts Exhibition

The third and current exhibit titled SENSES Community and Youth Arts Exhibition features artwork created by individuals of all ages with physical, cognitive, visual or hearing disabilities, is now available at the Envision Arts Gallery and Community Engagement Center in downtown Wichita, Kansas. Envision, the nation’s premier service provider to and employer of individuals who are blind or visually impaired, opened the permanent art gallery in January 2022 and was recently featured in Midwest Living Magazine's top summer picks list.

The SENSES Community and Youth Arts Exhibition highlights various artists from different community disability organizations and works created by the Envision Arts After School Art Club and the children of the Cathy G. Hudson Envision Child Development Center (ECDC). Organizations involved include Looking Glass Day Services, Heartspring, Down Syndrome Society of Wichita and Envision’s PRIDE group.

The theme, “SENSES,” was developed to showcase how we experience, navigate and understand the world through all of our senses in the form of two-dimensional, three-dimensional, video, photography, music, performance-based and literary artwork.

SENSES will be on display at the Envision Arts Gallery & Community Engagement Center from June 3 - August 26 in downtown Wichita, Kansas at the Envision Arts Gallery.
