The AAIDD Religion & Spirituality Interest Network works to foster opportunities for spiritual growth among people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Original Martha Perske prints are available as one way to support that work.
Martha Perske was renowned for her black-and-white artistic drawings of children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Many of her drawings were used as illustrations for books authored by her husband, Bob Perske.
These drawings have also been described as among the first to catch the beauty of people’s faces and their humanity as many people were coming out of institutions and being mainstreamed in schools.
These last remaining copies of the original prints were given to the AAIDD Religion & Spirituality Interest Network and are being made available for individuals, organizations, or congregations. Prints have been offered at $50 each, or 5 for $200.
If you are interested, view the PDF below for information on contacting Bill Gaventa with the prints you are interested in to first check whether they are still available and to receive payment instructions. Availability varies.
Sales of the Perske prints have previously helped generate funds for the network, and this offering provides a meaningful way to support its ongoing work.
