Illuminations: Selected work by artists from local state-funded art centers

Representing participants of:
PDDC's Cultural Art Center 
Oasis Art Center (RHD)
Center for Creative Works (RHD)
Outside the Frame Collective (CIS)

This exhibition, curated by a number of our current residents, highlights artwork by participants of four local art centers that serve adults living with mental health struggles and/or intellectual or physical disabilities. Programs like these - that create a nurturing atmosphere and strive to integrate marginalized members of our community through the arts - have struggled with massive funding cuts in recent years. We hope that this exhibition helps to increase awareness of the amazing contribution these members of our community have to offer. 

The exhibit runs February 14-March 1
Opening Reception: Friday February 21, 6-9pm
Gallery hours: Saturdays Feb 15, 22, and March 1, 1-4pm, or by appointment (please email 40th.air.app@gmail.com)
At AIRSPACE Gallery, 4007 Chestnut St, 1st Floor
