Following its success last year, a second exhibition is to be held featuring work by artists with autism at Dimbola Museum and Galleries.
All of the artists are supported by the Way Forward Programme, an Island charity which works with those with physical and learning disabilities.
The exhibition runs from 29th March to 28th April, with a cheese and wine preview evening being held at the gallery in Freshwater Bay on Friday 28th March between 18:00 and 20:00.
Lee White, Programme Lead for Way Forward said:
“We had a fantastic response to the event last year, and were invited to display many of the works at other venues across the Island.
“We sold 27 pieces last year, which we ouldn’t have done without the support of places such as Dimbola. It’s giving our artists a wonderful opportunity to showcase their work to a wider audience and help them make a living from their art.
“Art is a perfect medium to enable those with autism to express their thought and feelings. And knowing that people like the work so much they buy it, provides a huge boost for their confidence and self-esteem.”
If you would like to attend the preview evening, please RSVP to [email protected] by Friday 21st March.
