Join us November 8 as we honor three decades of Art Ability, a groundbreaking initiative at Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital that champions artists with disabilities and transforms lives through creativity. This year’s celebration is especially meaningful as we spotlight one of our featured patients, Christy Lazer, whose remarkable recovery journey embodies the spirit of Art Ability.
Just months ago, Christy was watching her son’s baseball game in Virginia when a sudden, severe headache revealed a ruptured brain aneurysm. After emergency surgery and complications, she was minimally conscious and facing long odds. But her husband Preston refused to give up.
Through a connection with Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital, Christy found a team that believed in her potential. With innovative therapies and compassionate care, including art therapy, Christy began to communicate again, drawing hearts and writing messages that showed she was still very much present.
Christy’s recovery defied expectations. She found strength not only in medical care but in unexpected places like the hospital’s greenhouse and the Art Ability exhibit. Today, she’s back home with her family, a living testament to the healing power of belief, perseverance, and art.
This year’s Art Ability celebration highlights: ✨ A 12-week international juried exhibition and sale.
🖼️ A permanent collection of over 500 works on display year-round
🤝 Community outreach, interactive demo days and satellite exhibitions
💼 A corporate art acquisition program supporting artists and accessibility
Whether you're an art lover, a supporter of disability advocacy, or simply curious to experience the transformative power of creativity, you’re invited to be part of this milestone event.
