Art Enables is an amazing art studio program and gallery for emerging artists with developmental and/or mental disabilities. They’re celebrating their 8th birthday with a party today. There’s lots of impressive outsider art for sale and also a raffle with creative prizes that include having a former VP from the World Bank come to your house and cook you crabcakes. (Really. I’m not making that up).

Eight is great! … and Art Enables is celebrating with a double dip!

1. A fabulous birthday party & exhibit – with DJ Uncle Eric.

2. A random raffle (very eclectic items and only $1 a ticket) and (the silent) auction of a single gorgeous painting on canvas to help us generate some extra funds to upgrade our security after a break-in and theft in January.

The party will help Art Enables after they were recently burglarized and lost all of the computers and electronic devices necessary for them to reach their community.
