Field of View is an artist residency program placing visual artists with developmental disabilities* in three-month-long artist residencies throughout the Portland community over the past year. The goals of this project are to help artists with disabilities gain access to spaces and communities that they have not been able to access before, provide artists with developmental disabilities with more visibility and opportunity for connection and exchange with new communities, and help them develop their professional practice and gain broader audiences for their work.

Wolff Gallery hosted the first culminating exhibition for the residency program, featuring painting, drawing, screen prints, ceramics, and performance created by Sonya Hamilton, David Lechner, Olga Shchepina, Larry Supnet, and Dawn Westover during their Field of View residencies.
