Creative Arts Program

AbilityPath has a long history of elevating artists of all abilities and connecting them with the broader community. For over two decades, our arts programming has showcased participant work in respected venues such as the Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose, Palo Alto Art Center, The Walt Disney Family Museum, and leading corporate spaces.

Through these exhibitions and art sales, hundreds of original works have been shared – helping artists earn income while increasing community awareness of the talent and contributions of individuals with disabilities.

Today, that strong foundation has evolved into something new!

AbilityPath’s Creative Arts Program is our reimagined approach to arts programming – expanding opportunities for creative expression, skill-building, and community connection.

Our Creative Arts Program is person-centered and flexible. Each participant shapes their experience through their Individual Service Plan, ensuring activities align with their interests, goals, and identity.
