Don't Quit Your Day Job

Don’t Quit Your Day Job: Artwork from Local Day Programs for Adults with Disabilities
Arnheim Gallery
September 19 to October 7, 2011.
Reception:   September 21, 5 to 7pm.
Gallery talk:  Wednesday October 5, 5:30pm

The work is from Gateway Arts, Outside the Lines and Webster House, three unique facilities where artists with various disabilities create work on a vocational basis. These programs are valuable not only for the vocational opportunities afforded to the participants, but in the aesthetic opportunities afforded to the work. Rather than focusing primarily on craft or technique, the programs encourage participants to create the type of work that interests them, working with, rather than against, each artist’s particular abilities and limitations. The resulting work is diverse, accessible and engaging.

River Cortes (MSAE 2002) curated this show.
