Vanderbilt Kennedy Center Art

Since 1994, the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center has sponsored exhibits of art by and about people with disabilities in order to demonstrate the diverse talents of individuals with disabilities. Each year the Center hosts four exhibits in the Kennedy Center foyer on the Vanderbilt campus. Some exhibits feature one or two artists, while other exhibits include the work of many artists. Often exhibits are organized in partnership with community organizations.

We invite organizations and businesses interested in displaying all or part of an exhibit organized by the Center to contact us. We also invite suggestions for future exhibits.

In 1997, the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center began a permanent collection of art by persons with disabilities, which now includes 18 works.
