Pure Vision Arts (PVA) was founded in 2002 by The Shield Institute, a not-for-profit human-service agency that educates and supports New Yorkers with autism and other developmental disabilities. Pure Vision Arts is New York's first specialized art studio and exhibition space for people with developmental disabilities. PVA is staffed by trained professionals with backgrounds in art education, fine arts, and art therapy who provide mentoring and support to the artists who attend. We invite you to visit the studio; please call 212-366-4263, Ext 4222 to make an appointment with Pam Rogers, Director. To add your name to our mailing list, please send us your address to purevisionarts@shield.org. We hope to meet you one day.
