THE ART SHOPPE

​​

​The Art Shoppe is a vibrant gallery and retail space located inside the Conklin Davis Center for the Visually Impaired. It is a place where art, accessibility, and opportunity come together. Every piece you’ll find here reflects imagination, innovation, and the belief that creativity is not defined by sight alone.

​

Showcasing original works by Artists-in-Residenc, The Art Shoppe features one-of-a-kind paintings, mixed media, ceramics, fiber art, photography, jewelry, and seasonal creations. Many works are thoughtfully designed with texture and layered materials, inviting engagement through both sight and touch.

​

Art with Purpose

The Art Shoppe is proudly connected to EMMA — Experimental Mixed Media Artists, a collective of resident artists who create visually striking, touch-accessible artwork. Their work celebrates sensory diversity and welcomes individuals of all abilities, including those who are blind or visually impaired.

​

All artists-in-residence donate a portion of their proceeds to support the mission of the Conklin Davis Center, making every purchase a direct investment in empowerment and independence.

​

Empowering Independence. Changing Lives.
