Sarah Rothstein's Company Details
NIAD (Nurturing Independence through Artistic Development) is a progressive art studio for adult artists with developmental disabilities.In a unique open studio environment, and with the guidance of qualified staff, NIAD artists acquire new skills in artistic practice and in independent living. As artists paint, build sculpture, mold clay, or work with textiles, their skills of observation and project management improve. As they explore and express their creativity, exhibit artwork in professional galleries, participate in community, and occasionally earn money from selling art, their feelings of independence and self-esteem increase.Each NIAD artwork is an original piece of contemporary art that tells an individual story from the perspective of an artist with disabilities. Frequently remarkable, surprising, and engaging, NIAD artwork has become a highlight of the Richmond art scene and has received recognition throughout the contemporary art world.
