Get in the ring with us at Win Win 13!

Join NIAD artists, care teams, staff, family, friends and community members for our annual celebration Win Win 13!

This event is a living embodiment of our mission — a jubilant, artist-driven event where creativity and care meet in full celebration of disability art and culture.

At the heart of it all, we’ll premiere Championship Belt, an exhibition inspired by NIAD artists’ passion for sports–professional wrestling in particular–and the bonds that are formed through teamwork in the ring, on the court, and in the studio.

Buy your sliding scale ($0 - $50) tickets today to attend this afternoon full of fun and NIAD team spirit, including:

Wrestlers in the round!
A taco bar from our friends at El Tucan as well as paletas, cupcakes, and delicious cocktails and mocktails.
Performances by NIAD artists.
Art-making in the NIAD studio
A drawing to win original 8x8” artworks by NIAD artists and our greater community (tickets to participate can be purchased here!)

Your presence and support at this community-driven fundraising event gives you a window into life at NIAD—where artmaking is filled with pride and purpose, where disability is celebrated, and where every individual is empowered to thrive. We’re bringing the team spirit, and now we’re counting on you to bring the heat!

The Center is located on a busy street with frequent traffic noise that can be heard inside the galleries. During events, the studio is filled with conversation, music, bright lighting, and smells produced by art materials.

A low-sensory room with seating and a livestream of the event is located off the NIAD courtyard. Sound will be minimized as much as possible.

Our restrooms are accessible to people using mobility devices. We have a gender neutral restroom and an adult changing station.
