why we ride
The Mohawk Valley Metric Century is a benefit for Oregon Supported Living Program's Arts & Culture Program, one of the few truly integrated arts programs in the nation serving people of all ability levels. Every single adult with a developmental disability who participates in the Arts & Culture Program is low income. While people with disabilities have their most basic needs met through the state and insurance, they have little to nothing left over for education, personal growth, and joy.
Your registration, generous donations, and fundraising efforts will support the amazing opportunities that the Arts & Culture Program provides:
-- Professional arts education for adults with developmental disabilities, giving them the opportunity to develop artistic talents, share their work with the community, and sell their art
-- Community exhibitions that share the art of people with truly diverse voices and backgrounds
-- The Lincoln Gallery, our fantastic classroom and exhibition space, which provides a safe and warm environment for artistic exploration
-- A huge range of classes, from Open Studio to Fiber Arts, Ceramics to Culinary Arts, Chair Yoga to Bookbinding
