Able ARTS Work Gallery

Welcome to Able ARTS Work Gallery

Located at 4321 Atlantic Avenue, Long Beach, California, Able ARTS Work Gallery is a vibrant hub for creativity and inclusivity, dedicated to celebrating the diverse expressions of artists from all walks of life. Our gallery is a beacon for art enthusiasts, fostering a community that transcends boundaries through the universal language of art.

About Us

Since its inception, Able ARTS Work has been committed to providing creative arts services and opportunities, particularly for marginalized communities and individuals with developmental disabilities. We believe in the transformative power of art, music, dance, and theater, enabling everyone to live a life without limitations. Our day program services are available in Hawthorne, Long Beach, and virtually, while community engagement and enrichment services are offered throughout Southern California and online.

CORE: Defining Ourselves

A cornerstone of our gallery is the annual CORE exhibition, a tradition that began in 2005 at the George V. Deneff Gallery in Long Beach. This juried exhibition has evolved to include artists of all abilities and features ADA components to ensure accessibility and inclusivity. CORE 2021 is a testament to the enduring spirit of collaboration and community, showcasing the unique relationships fostered through the artistic process.

Our Exhibitions

Our exhibitions highlight the essence of collaboration, as seen in the inspiring partnership between resident artist Jesus Quiroz and Pasadena-based artist Leonardo Moleiro. Their journey exemplifies the power of artistic synergy, resulting in a harmonious blend of abstract geometric forms and organic garden landscapes. This collaboration, born out of our Weekend Warrior Residency, underscores the importance of creative dialogue and mutual growth.
