Works of growth & recovery

Momentum hosts an annual art competition and exhibition featuring the work of artists with disabilities and mental health conditions in October. Artists throughout Central Iowa submit their artwork for consideration beginning in July. Artwork goes through a jury process by a local artist for entry into the exhibition.

This year’s exhibition will take place at Olson-Larsen Galleries on October 1st, 2026 and will be open to community members, artists, and Momentum supporters. Works of Growth & Recovery is a celebration of inclusivity and the power of healing through art.
