Get Social With Purple Iris Everywhere!

Stepping inside of BE ABLE you see the amazing talents of so many who have passed through their walls. Creativity and art can be found around every corner! Every day since I visited BE ABLE I have thought about the amazing art there.

Some murals were painted by individuals passing through, others were painted by local groups, like the mural painted by the children's group from St. Isidore's. The metalwork was created by a local individual who is part of BE ABLE, it is so interesting how he brings all the random pieces together to create the various faces.

Art groups are a regular part of BE ABLE, the instructors are constantly changing and everyone is welcome to join the class, you do not even need to worry about supplies. BE ABLE has everything needed.

Here is a sampling of some amazing art you will find there!
