This year’s Artability Art Show & Sale featured over 350 art pieces, more than 30 written works, and celebrated the talent of over 100 artists! Guests connected with one another, shared their stories, and enjoyed a vibrant atmosphere filled with delicious food, a live Haiku writer, a photo booth, and more!
This year’s Best in Show and Ambassador Artist for 2026 is Saber DeMare, for the drawing titled, Coming Into the Light.
The artwork that wins Best in Show at the Artability Art Show becomes our Artability Ambassador piece for the following year. The winning artwork represents the spirit of Artability -creativity, community, and resilience- and is featured on all our promotional materials, including posters, t-shirts, and event graphics. As the Artability Ambassador, the artist helps share the power of art and mental health through their inspiring work.
Every dollar you give to People Incorporated helps someone take a step toward mental wellness. Whether by providing hygiene kits for IRTS clients, art supplies for our Artability program, or emergency support for those in crisis, your one-time gift fills urgent gaps in care. In Minnesota, a significant number of adults and youth experience mental health conditions, with challenges in accessing timely and affordable care. Give today and be the reason someone gets the help they need.
