“It’s about abilities, not disabilities.”
These are the words that viewers will see posted amongst the works in SCC’s latest art installation. The gallery, entitled “Illumination,” celebrates artists who live with various disabilities.
A positive message indeed — as these artists do not appear limited, but quite the opposite, as their art seems to jump out with flying colors. The following is a sample of the talent that can be witnessed around the room.
Stop by the lobby of the 1000 Building for the full experience, and check the A&E Calendar for more details surrounding the gallery and related events.
