Amplified Rainbow IV showcases the creativity, talent, and artistic voices of the Artists @ SUI, an arts based day habilitation program of Systems Unlimited, Inc. Since 2018, Artists @ SUI has provided adult artists with disabilities access to art materials, instruction, adaptive tools, and creative support, helping them explore and develop their unique artistic expressions. This exhibition features a diverse collection of work, including painting, drawing, ceramics, and mixed media, created by artists who contribute meaningfully to Iowa City’s vibrant arts community.

At its heart, Amplified Rainbow IV is a celebration of radical inclusion, individuality, and the power of art to connect people. The exhibition highlights the perspectives and experiences of more than 30 artists who create in the Artists @ SUI studio, offering visitors an opportunity to engage with artwork that is both personal and inspiring. Through their creativity, these artists demonstrate that art is not only a form of self-expression but also a powerful way to build community, foster understanding, and amplify voices that deserve to be seen and celebrated.
