Gateway Arts at 50

Gateway Arts is turning 50! We’re marking this important milestone with Art of the Possible, a year-long series of events, exhibitions, and public programs that will spotlight the essential role of creative expression and meaningful work in the lives of adults with disabilities.

To kick off this exciting year of programming, The Gateway Arts Advisory Committee hosted Art of the Possible: Gateway Arts’ 50th Anniversary Benefit Celebration at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston on Wednesday, October 18, 2023.

We’ll continue to add more information about upcoming exhibitions and public programming throughout the year, so check back to learn more.
