Art without Boundaries is part of PAASS and was created to support the Arts. Discover the world of artistic brilliance and unique perspectives with our collection of art created by talented individuals with disabilities. Each piece tells a captivating story, showcasing the power of creativity and the boundless potential of the human spirit. Art by people with disabilities can challenge societal perceptions by offering alternative narratives and perspectives. By showcasing their artistic expression, it encourages a more inclusive society that recognizes the value and contributions of all individuals regardless of their abilities. We have 5 artists who will be displaying their works at Mill Valley Fall Art Festival September 23 and 24, 2003. Some will be for sale with proceeds going back to support various schools as well as PAASS.
