JAMESTOWN – The largest-ever public display of art created by people with disabilities at The Resource Center is now on exhibit at the Dykeman-Young Gallery in Jamestown.
The exhibit is titled “Applause” and features more than 100 works by individuals with disabilities in TRC’s Creations Art Program. There will be 75 pieces that have never been displayed publicly. Creations director Kristen McNitt is the curator for the exhibit.
For this exhibit, The Resource Center is partnering with Volt Vision to do some creative things with the artwork. Steve and Julie French of Volt Vision are volunteering their time and equipment to work with TRC’s artists to create a digital lighting theme for the windows at the Dykeman-Young Gallery.
The works will be on exhibit now through June 28; exhibit hours are 1:00 to 7:00 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
An opening reception will be held from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Friday, June 6, in the gallery, located at 100 East Second Street. The reception will feature live music, hors d’oeuvres and beverages, and a silent auction.
While there is no charge to attend the reception or to view the exhibit during its run, donations will be accepted. Proceeds will support The Resource Center’s Creations art program.
