Community Impact: Community Needs, Public Benefit, Participation and Access. This project benefits Bainbridge Island residents and visitors by raising awareness about people with intellectual and developmental disabilities as a subculture within the greater community. This active group of individuals have passions, drive, and artistic talents that would remain hidden without the support provided by Vitalize Kitsap. All of us benefit when people with intellectual and developmental disabilities participate in community events, have jobs, interact socially with their peers and others, and contribute their creative work to our shared culture. This project creates new opportunities for community participation and allows us to reach audiences we have not previously had access to. To create our costumes, sets, and resale items in an eco-supportive way, we will upcycle donated used and recyclable materials, received through Buy Nothing Bainbridge. This will involve the whole community who participates in this island-grown (co-founded by one of our staff members), and now- worldwide gift economy. By hosting an original play at a public venue, which offers discounted rates for people with disabilities, there will be many opportunities to experience the joy and creativity of our members. If island residents or visitors don’t get a chance to see the play, the original, recycled and upcycled costumes and set props will be displayed during a First Friday Art Walk at the Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Center. Additionally, some members’ art will be permanently showcased in our online store (and new art added over time), which will provide many outreach opportunities for us to raise awareness about the contributions our members make to the culture of this island. The support from this grant will also impact a culture of people with intellectual and development disabilities who live on Bainbridge Island, in adult family homes. These individuals live together in a community, so they do not have Respite Care support like their adult friends who live with their parents. This means to access our services, they have to pay out of pocket, though they do not have excess money after their minimal Medicaid dollars are spent. This xxxxx xxxxx up some of our project expenses for our scholarship fund, which means these deserving community members can attend our clubs, participate in our play, and gain work experience through our online marketplace. When everyone has access to, and is welcome in, our public, work, and art spaces, regardless of economic, physical and intellectu...

Our aim is to expand access to creative learning for all, through the use of audio, video and written stories.

We will work with community organizations to celebrate their contributions to our island, increase visibility, and invite broader participation. We will highlight poetry unique to Bainbridge's cultural organizations and their missions.
