Fresh Eye Gallery is proud to present All In, an exhibition celebrating the work of artists with disabilities from six progressive art studios: Art Explorers (CA), Creativity Explored (CA), Fresh Eye Arts (MN), Interact (MN), Make Studio (MD), and Visionaries + Voices (OH). Drawings, paintings, mixed media and textile works will be on display. With a diverse range of thematic focuses, these artists are united by technical skill, innovation and distinct point of view. Working intuitively, they follow their own unique instincts and creative problem solving rather than adhering to traditional rules or processes of artmaking. This exhibition affirms the importance of accessibility, representation, and recognition of the highly skilled and excellent work created by these artists who are still operating on the margins of the arts community, especially at a time when the arts, disability services, and healthcare are being threatened.
This year, Art Explorers is represented at the Mendocino Music Festival by studio artist, Nathan Burger!
The festival runs from July 12 - 26, CLICK HERE for the lineup!
