Adult artists with physical and mental disabilities are finding a place to shine in Chicago.
An organization called Project Onward gives them studio space, supplies and guidance to help them create their art.
I read about the organization in an article in the Skyline Newspaper. Here's what the program director told the paper:
"We’re here to demystify disability. They’re artists first, and have other issues second. It’s great for the artists to work where their art is being admired."
The artists sell their work to the public... and it's really good!! I copied some pictures from the Project Onward website to give you a look at all the amazing art being created:
