Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Friday, February 20th, 2026

EmployAbility is proud to bring together artists of all abilities on Thursday, March 5th for Together We Create Presented by SeaGate Terminals. This powerful fine art show and fundraiser celebrates inclusion and expression while bringing together our community.

The exhibition features original works by EmployAbility participants alongside contributions from Savannah’s vibrant artistic community, highlighting the power of art to unite people of all abilities.

At EmployAbility, art is more than a creative outlet — it is a meaningful way for individuals to express themselves, tell their stories, and share their voices. Together We Create brings that belief to life through a dynamic and welcoming exhibition designed to celebrate inclusion through creativity.

The exhibition is curated by Victoria C. Gildersleeve, an experienced arts professional affiliated with the Savannah College of Art and Design. As Director of Special Projects and Lead Curator at Artrepreneur, she has guided the development of more than 75 public art projects worldwide, bringing extensive experience in exhibition development, artist support, and fine art programming.

“This exhibition is a celebration of collaboration and shared creativity,” said Gildersleeve. “Bringing artists of all abilities together highlights how art can connect people in meaningful and lasting ways.”

Participating artists include Katherine Sandoz, Joanna Paige Silver, Pandandle Slim, Abigail Portner, Patrick Kuhnmuench, Becca of Good to Know You Fiber Arts, Jane Mansel, and many more.

We invite all of our community to enjoy a vibrant evening featuring a silent auction of unique works of art, complimentary food and drink, live music by Lulu the Giant, and opportunities to connect with artists and supporters of EmployAbility’s mission.

“Art allows our participants to build confidence, express who they are, and connect with others in powerful ways,” said Kate Keiser, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at EmployAbility. “Events like Together We Create remind us that creativity is essential to dignity, belonging, and opportunity.”

The event will take place Thursday, March 5, 2026, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at SOHO South Events, 12 W. Liberty Street in Savannah. Admission is a suggested $20 donation and includes one drink ticket. All proceeds directly support EmployAbility’s programs, which empower adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities through meaningful, community-based programming.

The event is made possible through the generous support of presenting sponsor SeaGate Terminals, with additional support from SCAD, Northpoint Hospitality, and 5 Spot. To learn more, visit: https://employabilityga.org/together-we-create
