NOTEWORTHY
DETAILS: |
MossRehab inaugurated an
exhibition showcasing artists with disabilities in 1979. We believe
that it was the first show of its kind on the East Coast. Many
similar shows have been launched as a result.
Works by 68 artists and fine craft
artisans is showcased. There are 38 returning favorites and 30
artists who are new to the exhibition. In addition to local and
other U.S. artists, there are exhibitors from Israel, South Africa,
Canada and India. |

Kids Day on Sunday, April 27
from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. features tours of the exhibition and
demonstrations. Children will visit stations and participate in
interactive experiences, such as painting with a brush held in the
mouth or creating art using non-dominant hands. |
