Redefining contemporary art.

When you own a piece of NIAD art, you connect with the unique story of an artist with disabilities, amplify an original voice in contemporary art, and empower a non-traditional artist to earn income from their work.

NIAD virtual exhibition

"After Party" organized by Glen Helfand

About the Exhibition

I’ve always loved the word ‘after’ when used as an art term.

On Wikipedia, “After is an art convention used in the titles and inscriptions of artworks to credit the original artist in the title of the copy.” But it has so many meanings, interpretations...

Another thing I love about the term after is the way it suggests continuation. What comes after is locomotion and legacy, oral and visual history. There’s a party after the party. The fun never stops!
