Stop #2 of the day was at Art Enables' spring show and open house . Art Enables is an amazing non-profit organization that provides space, tutelage, supplies, guidance, encouragement and representation to more than two dozen developmentally disabled artists, who turn out artwork of fascinating beauty and interest. Art Enables is another refugee from the late-lamented Millenium Art Center, and has found itself a light-filled a The Lovely and Talented Joyce Muis-Lowery  Stephan and Jill
In just 5 years, Art Enables, under the leadership of Joyce Muis-Lowery (and always aided by the multi-talented Stephan Bauschmid and others) has made itself an indispensable part of this community, exhibiting at venues including the World Bank, the Dunbarton Concert Series, the Arlington Arts Center, Artomatic, the Visionary Art Museum and many other galleries around the country. Over the years, I have collected several Art Enables artists (the only exception to my rule that I trade for art, rather than pay $) and picked up a new piece by Connie Reinwald today. I also loved the new work by Margie Smeller, who I had a chance to meet.
