Arts Unbound is a nonprofit organization that advances the artistic work of people living with disabilities and seniors. It provides visual arts education and professional development to help emerging artists participate in the retail market. By prioritizing creative output over impairment, the organization seeks to reduce stigma associated with disability and aging. Its activities include operating a gallery and an educational art studio tailored to artists with disabilities and seniors, and it also brings programs directly to seniors. It centers two core programs—visual arts education and artist development—as a means to widen access to self-employment and independent artistic careers while removing barriers to workforce participation. Based in Orange, New Jersey, Arts Unbound was founded in 2000.
