Artists with disabilities are stepping into the spotlight this month, with their work on display in two exhibits at City Hall.
One exhibit, Philadelphia Cultures and Connections, showcases art created by adults with developmental disabilities who are participants of SpArc Services’ Cultural Arts Center. This artwork is located on the third and fifth floors of City Hall.
The other exhibit – Neuroinclusion & Neurodiversity Under ONE Roof – The People’s Roof! – features art on the second and fourth floors by adults with autism who participate in the Autistic Art Coalition of Philadelphia.
Both exhibits, put on by Creative Philadelphia, are on display for the public to view, for free, through April 25.
Cherie Harris, 41, is a SpArc participant and one of 30 artists featured in Philadelphia Cultures and Connections. On the fifth floor of City Hall, you can find her art — a floral collage — entitled “The Little Red Robin.”
