 An opening reception will take place from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday,
Oct. 6, at Lincoln Art Institute, 112 S. McLean St., Lincoln. The
exhibit, “Breaking the Walls One Ability at a Time,” runs through
Nov. 1.
Up to 60 artists will display their work. Types of artwork will
include papier-mache, collages, acrylic paintings, watercolors,
chalk drawings, stencil designs, block printing, pencil/charcoal
drawings and self-portraits.
“These artists are excited to break into their community through
their art, conquering misconceptions regarding individuals with
developmental disabilities,” said Deb Hilgendorf, director of
facility-based services at Memorial Behavioral Health-Lincoln Center
for Developmental Rehabilitation. “We invite the community to
support their effort to master their talents while overcoming
barriers. You support will be instrumental in these artists being
active in the community.”
