The Kennedy Center is Now The Kennedy Collective!

The Kennedy Center, Inc., has changed its name to The Kennedy Collective. The new name reflects our core belief that it takes a collective approach to ensure people with disabilities have a voice, are valued, and provided with opportunities to succeed.

While our name has changed, our Mission remains anchored in creating pathways for people to flourish and thrive in their communities by unleashing potential and empowering abilities.

Mickey’s colorful artwork reflects his positive personality and appreciation for life. This winter scene combines a playful use of color and love of nature, inviting the viewer to enjoy the peace and serenity of the moment. Fantastic work Mickey!
