Transition Academy

A huge thank you to Arts for All Nevada for partnering with Transition Academy to make Colors of Work possible. This exhibition has provided our interns with an incredible opportunity to share their stories, talents, and experiences through art. The confidence, pride, and joy our interns displayed while presenting their work and discussing their creative process was truly inspiring. We are especially grateful for the welcoming space and support that Arts for All provides to help ensure every artist has a voice.

A special thank you to Anne Hunter for her dedication, creativity, and belief in our interns. Through her guidance, encouragement, and artistic expertise, our students were able to explore self-expression in meaningful ways and create beautiful works that reflect their experiences, goals, and identities. Partnerships like these help us carry out our mission of empowering young adults with disabilities to build independence, confidence, and meaningful futures.

Colors of Work will be on display at the McKinley Arts Center through July 9, Monday–Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Stop by and check out this inspiring exhibit showcasing the creativity, talents, and stories of Transition Academy intern artists.

🌟Our interns take so much pride in their work and it’s evidenced here with this intern’s smile. Not only did he work with his coworkers to hand pack all of these racks of food, but he also figured out how to safely maneuver his completed dolly through the warehouse, into the walk-in freezer and back to the loading area for the assigned route. These new tasks filled him with pride and a feeling of success for a job well done! 🤩
