The Grace Fisher Foundation is dedicated to enriching the lives of individuals with disabilities through the transformative power of the arts.
At age of 17, Grace faced a life-altering challenge when she was diagnosed with a rare polio-like illness that left her paralyzed from the neck down. Despite the daunting setback, Grace’s spirit and love for life found renewed expression through the arts.
Grace Fisher Foundation works to break down barriers and promote inclusivity by integrating individuals with disabilities with the typical population, emphasizing shared experiences and fostering kindness.
