MRC artWorks is a working gallery and studio for adults living with disabilities. This organization, with its strong connection to the community, knows the importance of spreading encouraging messages through bright, colorful imagery. Using donated materials, MRC artWorks artists create dynamic window displays of original, unique art and enjoy leaving “free-found-art” for others to find. Amy Thill, the MRC artWorks Unit Manager, will show examples of donated items that have found new creative life. She will share what inspires the artists and how they infuse fun into the studio environment while experimenting with art materials and techniques.
