See work made this year by participants in MoMA’s Create Ability program, a monthly workshop for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families and friends. Guided by MoMA teaching artists, participants focused on a different theme each month, engaging with artworks in the galleries and creating their own work in the studio.

The Museum is a place for participants to access creativity and build community. For almost two decades, Create Ability has aimed to foster connection, empower through the exploration of artistic materials and processes, inspire confidence, and encourage self-expression and fun!

Organized by Theresa Rodewald, Associate Educator, Access Programs and Initiatives, Department of Learning and Engagement.

The Adobe Foundation is proud to support equity, learning, and creativity at MoMA.

Access and community programs are supported by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF).

Major funding is provided by The Taft Foundation.

Additional support is provided by the Sarah K. de Coizart Article TENTH Perpetual Charitable Trust, the Allene Reuss Memorial Trust, the Werner and Elaine Dannheisser Fund for Older Adults at MoMA in honor of Agnes Gund, the J.E. and Z.B.
