The Collective Spectacle celebrates original artwork by 10 recent high school graduates with disabilities participating in Access Gallery's annual eight-week transition program from high school into adulthood.

Inspired by fantasy, folklore, nature, technology and personal memories, the work reflects the interns' creativity while they build artistic, workplace and life skills.

​

Exploration presents interactive artwork shaped by curiosity, discovery and play. During the 10-week Creative Careers internship, five emerging Access Gallery artists mentored ArtWorks interns, taught classes, curated the exhibition and explored museum careers through the Denver Art Museum's Pathways Exploration Internship.

​

Creative Careers is supported by Access/VSA, a Jean Kennedy Smith Arts and Disability Program of the Kennedy Center.
