Phillips Collection / Enrichment Center

For nearly a decade we have worked closely with The Enrichment Center of Winston-Salem on art exhibitions at the High Point Furniture Market. The Enrichment Center helps adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities reach their full potential and achieve their best life.

Twice annually, we provide product for the artists to interpret through their unique lenses. The results are nothing short of amazing, and their works have been sold to collectors around the world. From painted fish wall sculptures and galloping horses to river stone tables, wall spheres and even a full sized cow named Etta, painted in colorful puzzle pieces to promote Autism Awareness, there is no shortness of creativity. The entire center gets involved in these projects. The art class works on the product while the journalism class creates the project name and description and the photography and digital art class capture the project and work on the poster. We couldn’t be prouder of the body of work and our partnership with the artists. We can call them our friends and look forward to the continued relationship with this amazing center.

The Enrichment Center helps adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities reach their full potential and achieve their best life. Through art classes, life skills training, community activities and job placement, individuals build on their abilities and connect to the broader community. These efforts enrich their lives, and the life of our community through their inclusion. Many individuals progress to a level of independence and success that would otherwise be unimaginable.
