ArtElevate doesn’t stop at showcasing talent—it actively pushes for a more inclusive and equitable cultural landscape. By partnering with institutions, engaging
policymakers, and sharing what we learn, we work to ensure that artists with intellectual disabilities are recognized not only as creators—but as cultural contributors with
equal rights and opportunities.
We collect data, experiences, and feedback to inform concrete proposals for

highlighting achievements and presenting our policy recommendations.
