Mission Statement
The Academy of Special Dreams Foundation believes that all persons, regardless of their disabilities, should have equal opportunities to express their talents and to be successful in the Arts.
About This Cause
The mission of the Academy of Special Dreams Foundation is to increase public awareness, recognition and appreciation of the creative talents of people with disabilities by providing opportunities that encourage, promote and showcase their artistic expressions. The Academy of Special Dreams Foundation accomplishes this mission in three (3) principal ways: first, we maintain a website, www.specialacademy.org, with "virtual" art galleries showcasing the creative works of each of our nearly 200 "artists in residence" together with their artists statements and biographies that reveal their personal challenges and triumphs in being able to express their artistic talents; second, we provide cash scholarships to encourage traditional college-aged students with special needs to pursue a course of study in Art and cash "working artists grants" to people with disabilities who seek to create and sell their art to supplement their income; and third, we collaborate with nonprofit direct service providers, museums, cities, private businesses and others to arrange for art exhibitions that promote the works of art created by our artists in residence.
