For decades, CP State has celebrated the creativity of artists in the disability community, showcasing their work each year at our Annual Conference in Saratoga Springs.

This gallery has become a hallmark of the event – a must-see destination that reflects both artistic excellence and the power of self-expression.

This year, we are honored to dedicate the gallery in memory of Edward R. Matthews, longtime ADAPT CEO, passionate supporter of the arts, and tireless champion for people with disabilities, who passed away in 2024.

We are proud to present the Edward R. Matthews Memorial Art Gallery, featuring extraordinary works that embody the talent, vision, and spirit of the disability community.
