Matt Distel, V+V’s director at the time, introduced Western Exhibitions’ founder Scott Speh to Courttney Cooper in 2011. Shortly after this visit to his hometown, Speh included Cooper in the three-person show Indirect Observation at the gallery. Cooper joined the gallery roster and his most recent solo show in 2016 was lauded as a must-see by Disparate Minds. Western Exhibitions has mounted a solo show with V+V artist Andrew Hostick, reviewed in Disparate Minds and New City and the gallery has presented V+V artists at art fairs: Hostick at EXPO Chicago in 2015 and Cooper with fellow V+V artist Jenny Crowe at the 2017 Outsider Art Fair in New York City.

Established in 2003, Visionaries + Voices is a non-profit organization that provides exhibition opportunities, studio space, supplies and support to more than 125 visual artists with disabilities. V+V artists actively contribute to the greater Cincinnati arts community through creative, educational, and strategic partnerships with local and regional artists, schools and business leaders.
