DDartists (Jobs for Developmental Disabilities) Art Exhibition: Into the world through the Art
April 28, 2021 @ 10:00 am - April 30, 2021 @ 5:00 pm
안녕하세요 KCC 회원 여러분,
4월 28-30까지 3일동안 KCC에서 발달장애 예술인들의 전시회가 개최됩니다.
이번 전시회에 참가하는 예술인들은 비영리 단체 Give Chances의 DDartists Project 학생들로 예술적 재능을 가진 발달장애인들입니다.
기브챈스는 우리 사회에서 소외된 이웃 중의 하나인 장애를 가진 이들을 위한 장애인 취업 및 재능 계발 프로그램을 운영하고 있는 뉴저지 비영리 기관으로 이들에게 미술적 재능을 계발하기 위한 미술 교육을 제공하고 미술 학습 중에 생산한 예술 작품을 활용해 카드, 다이어리, 달력, 장난감과 같은 상품을 개발합니다. 또한 발생한 모든 수익금은 다시 발달 장애인 고용과 교육, 그리고 기브챈스의 다양한 교육 프로그램을 위해 사용되어집니다.
코로나 기간 동안에도 기브챈스는 발달장애인들을 위한 온라인 교육 프로그램을 진행하였으며, 이들의 사회적 통합과 커뮤니티에 이들의 재능을 알림과 동시에 성취감과 만족감을 주기 위해, 작품 전시회를 기획하였습니다. 이러한 전시를 통하여 우리 사회에 발달장애인에 대한 이해와 이들의 재능에 대한 인식과 관심이 높아지길 소망해 봅니다.
우리 모두의 마음을 따뜻하게 해 줄 다티스트 전시회에 여러분을 초대합니다. 발달장애 예술인들의 아름다운 작품을 통하여서 힐링과 기쁨을 느끼시길 바랍니다.

What is DDartists?
DDartists is a project of Give Chances that provides people with developmental disabilities
the opportunity for employment and talent development. DDartists hires, pays, and
provides educational opportunities for these individuals in a safe and caring environment.
We focus on harnessing the artistics creations, talents, and creativities of the disabled
community to create merchandise, such as planners, calendars, holiday cards, and toys. The
opportunity of employment and talent development allows them to develop their talents
and make meaningful and lasting contributions to our society.

How we started:
Work is essential for an independent life as it provides not only financial resources, but also a
sense of self-fulfillment as a member of society. As a result, people feel more connected to
others and become a contributing member of the community through their work.
In today’s society, about 3% of the American population, around nine million people, are
registered as living with developmental disabilities. Furthermore, a meager 14.7 percent of
individuals with developmental disabilities are employed in the job market.
To fix this disparity, our organization has been identifying and granting job opportunities for
those with developmental disabilities. Everyone is born with unique talents and potentials, so
does people with developmental disabilities. We started to pay attention to those who have
interests and talents in art. We found a possibility to use their artistic talents and developed a
work-education model for people with developmental disabilities.
