This November, as we recognize National Career Development Month, we want to highlight the critical connection between meaningful work and the arts. That connection comes to life at the ReelArt Opening Reception for the 2026 ReelAbilities Houston Film & Arts Festival on January 18th!

Experience the world through the eyes of artists from Celebration Company, an entrepreneurial employment program for adults with disabilities. You’ll see art created in diverse mediums like painting, photography, and glass fusion, alongside a special exhibition by our featured artist.

Celebration Company provides life skills and meaningful employment; all artists are equal members of a profit share, ensuring their perspective is appreciated while they actively contribute to society.
