2019 - Annual Art Show

Titled “I am…” and hosted at the Living Gallery, this year showcased the artwork produced by our talented artists within our Day Habilitation Program exploring identity, self-discovery, unexpected potential, and expression through evocative self-portraiture.

I have been working with City Access as a job coach for over 2 years and it has been the best experience of my life. Not many people of my age can say they have worked with visually impaired teenagers who have interned as some of the most historic places such as the Apollo Theater and The Met. This program makes an impact on young lives. People who are usually faced with this obstacle in life are taught that the best jobs out there for them are janitorial but City Access gives them the opportunity to explore their talents and so much more. The internships City Access has provided for the visually impaired has strengthened their self-esteem, contributed to their growth, as well as expanded their minds in so many ways. It has also done the same for me. The Career Discovery Program is a great and there should be more programs out there for young people, especially those who deserve to know their lives mean more than they think.
