ReVision Arts
Mission/Vision:
ReVision Arts is Art for All! We are an inclusive organization that brings together people of all abilities to celebrate art. We focus on artists with all types of disabling conditions, and other artists who consider themselves underrepresented.
In 2019 Mount Baker Neighborhood Center for the Arts (MBNCA)’s board, along with our Seattle University intern, several of our artists, and founder Barbara Oswald spent nine months rebranding our non-profit. At our 2018 annual fundraiser, Art in the Dark, we renewed our commitment and announced our new name. Our registered 501(c)3 Federal non-profit is titled South End Seattle Arts Center, and we are doing business as ReVision Arts. We remain an inclusive art-education organization in South Seattle.
