An Inclusive Community Gallery: Artfully Unique Grand Opening
At Living Resources, our mission has always been to support individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) and Traumatic Brain Injuries in living their most fulfilling lives. Now, we have a vibrant new space to showcase exactly what that looks like. We are thrilled to announce the successful grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony of our new gallery, Artfully Unique!
The energy at our grand opening was nothing short of inspiring. We were honored to welcome members of the Guilderland Chamber of Commerce, as well as local community members and our dedicated staff, all of whom gathered to celebrate the incredible talent within our art programs.
A highlight of the event was a moving speech by Senator Patricia Fahy, Chair of the Senate Disabilities Committee. She shared kind words about our artists' work and reiterated her steadfast commitment to supporting the I/DD community. Our CEO, Elizabeth Martin, also took the stage to share her vision for the gallery’s future. For Elizabeth and the rest of the Living Resources team, Artfully Unique isn’t just a storefront—it’s an inclusive community hub designed for artists of all abilities.
As guests enjoyed light refreshments and wandered through the art, the message was clear. Art is a universal language. Artfully Unique provides the individuals we support with a platform to express themselves, gain recognition, and share their unique perspectives with the world.
Whether you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind piece to brighten your home or simply want to support local talent, we invite you to stop by. Artfully Unique is located at 2005 Western Avenue in Albany. The gallery is open 9AM-7PM Monday-Friday, and 9AM-5PM on Saturdays. For a list of community classes, please visit www.ArtfullyUnique.org. Come experience the beauty of inclusion and the power of art. We can’t wait to see you there!
