The Corporation for Artistic Development (CAD) uses arts to improve neighborhoods, parks, businesses and homes with creative outdoor and indoor upgrades. CAD also enhances personal lives and careers for the disabled, youth and artists.
Legacy is one of Corporation for Artistic Development (CAD, Inc.) many programs at Regal Towers.
Q: What's the difference in Legacy and other disability galleries and museums
A: Artists are asked to come and do live demonstrations and showcase their talents and share stories about their success to encourage others with and without disabilities. Sometimes artists are funded to temporarily reside at Regal Towers.
Q: How is the store at Legacy different from other museum and art gallery stores
A: Artists can take bids for their artistic work in a silent or live auction or have a vendor table to sell their work. Artists sell more than artwork. They sell their books, products, business services and get interviews with employers and buyers.
Q: Why would people visit Legacy when they can go on-line and see more art work and history of the disabled
A: Legacy does not and cannot compete with the huge disability arts programs, museums and art galleries. Legacy is smaller and more intimate, interactive and hands-on activity based for its guest. They can enjoy workshops, readings, entertainment, art demonstrations, games, contests and receive employment and resource opportunities, etc. Legacy encourages people to visit on-line museums for more enrichment. An artist residency is periodically offered for artists to stay in a Regal Towers Apartment rent free while they complete an artistic project and then perform or showcase it.

A: The public votes for their favorite artist. Artists receiving the most votes for their works or services are rewarded.
Q: Is Legacy open to only those with disabilities
A: No. Individuals and groups r.s.v.p. and then come and enjoy themselves. Persons without disabilities learn that there are youth, adults and seniors who can do more than them with less to work with. Persons with disabilities that are hesitant to try certain careers and hobbies will be encouraged and motivated. Visitors can order catered meals also.
Q: Is there another way disabled business owners, artists, and disability schools and providers, can benefit
A: Yes, they can be featured in our television show, which will give them greater exposure and artists can audition and interview for upcoming stage, film, book publishing and musical projects and get assistance applying for a grant.
