With a new start, everything is POSSABLE!
OUR STORY
In 2018, my son and co-founder Henry and I introduced you to IntoWishin’ Arts, inspired by Henry's award-winning art and our tagline, "The Art of POSS-A-BILITIES.”
Our mission is to discover artists living with disabilities, like Henry, and help them achieve greater independence and creative opportunities by selling their art on everyday items like wall art, t-shirts, and hoodies.
After a worldwide pandemic and reuniting with many talented artists, Henry and I are ready to take it to the next level with the launch of our new brand, simply called – POSSABLE!
POSSABLE is the first apparel and art brand designed exclusively by artists with disabilities. Every purchase from POSSABLE pays artists royalties on the sale of their products, and with each purchase, POSSABLE also donates to their supporting organizations to fund more art opportunities for adults with disabilities.
During our 5-year quest to curate the best art and designs for our products, we have discovered a true artistic movement.
The Disability Arts Movement is a vibrant tapestry of talents and abilities, uniting artists from all walks of life. It’s a showcase of a spectrum of experiences and voices that have long been underrepresented.
Whether is through photography and drawings, like Henry’s, paintbrush strokes, sculpted forms, written word, or live performances, artists with disabilities are redefining what is possible. This movement challenges preconceived notions about ability and disability, inviting us to see beyond perceptible attributes and recognize the limitless potential within each artist.
What's extraordinary is that these creators not only challenge the norm, but they are redefining style and design. Our mission is to spread awareness and introduce the world to these amazing artists and their movement.
Henry and I have met many talented artists and have curated a very exciting collection of designs to feature on our products.
We invite you to dive into a world where art and ability collide in beautiful ways. Join us in exploring disability arts, supporting disabled artists, creating more opportunity for art creation in the disabled population, and help us redefine the artistic landscape.
OUR CORE VALUES

OUR FOUNDING BELIEF

ARTIST COMPENSATION
We're in business to create financial opportunities and independence for creative individuals living with physical, cognitive and emotional challenges. ALL ORIGINAL ARTISTS will receive above-industry-standard royalties for their original work, as well as work created jointly in workshops. In addition, a portion of each sale will be directed to partnering non-profit organizations creating even more art activities for the people with disabilities.
PARTNERSHIPS
We will explore corporate, retail, and non-profit partnerships for publication and distribution of POSSABLE brand products. If you are a retailer, corporation, corporate foundation, or nonprofit and would like information about partnerships, please contact us today.
B-CORP APPLICATION
We're applying to be a Benefit Corporation and plan to be structured for sustainability and social good. A B-Corp is to business what Fair Trade certification is to coffee or USDA Organic certification is to food products. B-Corps are for-profit companies certified by the nonprofit B-Lab to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. In a B-Corp, the community benefit must be considered, and not only shareholders, when making business decisions,
ONE PERCENT FOR THE PLANET, SUSTAINABILITY, AND FAIR TRADE
1% for the Planet is a global network with thousands of incredible businesses and environmental organizations working together to support people and the planet. The 1% for the Planet model means companies commit to donating at least 1% of annual sales to environmental organizations. POSSIBLE is making this commitment, plus practicing material recycling and reuse, along with fair trade practices with our vendors.
