We’d like to congratulate the winners of the 2024 Midwest Award for Artists with Disabilities! More than 300 artists applied for the award, which supports accessibility in the arts, and Chicago’s own Serena Elston is one of the nine recipients. Check out her amazing piece below that’s made of synthetic bone and plywood. We look forward to seeing even more recognition for our region’s talented artists.

Our Summer of Cycling is taking the Chicago area by storm! ABC 7 Chicago stopped by Big Marsh Park to check out the action this past weekend, and our members were thrilled to be on TV once again.

We were extremely proud to watch our member Andre accept his congressional commendation from Congresswoman Delia Ramirez (IL-03) at a Community Congressional Records Ceremony last week. Andre was recognized for his efforts to uplift the importance of mental health through his book, “Colorful Memoirs: A Journey Through Andre’s Life.” Co-published with Envision Unlimited staff member Treena Glover, the adult coloring book provides readers with creative snapshots of significant moments in Andre’s life. Congresswoman Ramirez commended Andre and the other honorees for making the world a better place. “The congressional record would not be complete without you being a part,” she said. Check out her official written remarks here: https://lnkd.in/gz4NPFQN Also pictured: Envision Unlimited President and CEO Mark McHugh and staff member Saadiq Bey #EnvisionProud #colorfulmemoirs #mentalhealthawareness #peoplewithdisabilities #inspirationalbooks #lifejourney #sharingourstories #communityrecognition #breakthestigma

Many thanks to @raygrahamassociation and @envisionunlimited for their hospitality this week. Our colleagues from Zambia, Taiwan, and Finland were able to learn more community living services for adults who experience intellectual and developmental disabilities in the U.S. Collaborative learning will advance inclusion for all.

Come and ride with our members and volunteers along the nature-filled bike paths at Big Marsh Park on Aug. 17. Water and tasty snacks will be provided, and riders of ALL ages, abilities and skill levels are welcome!

“I want the world to be kind to James.” We love this sentiment that actor Colin Farrell recently shared about his son, who has Angelman syndrome, a rare neurogenetic disorder. Due to a gap in much-needed support, the actor recently launched the Colin Farrell Foundation to provide education and programs for adults with intellectual disabilities. We completely agree that we need more support and inclusion for people with disabilities. Thank you, Colin, for the important work you’re doing.
