ArtAccess Presents: Open Studios

06.01.24 – 06.16.24

Five people sit at at a table looking through art books.

Emphasizing self-expression, independence and social connection, ArtAccess celebrates our Open Studios participants. Everyone was encouraged to freely explore a variety of materials and work on their own projects. During Open Studios sessions, great importance was given to the exploration of the material and experimental processes rather than the finished product. This exhibit features a small selection of artwork by adults who have participated in this program.
