ARTIST RECEPTION: TUESDAY, MARCH 25th, 12 – 1:30


Featuring 100 pieces of artwork created by VSA arts RI’s statewide participating artists, this exhibit honors Paul Sherlock, a man who has had a significant impact on the community of people with disabilities throughout RI, and celebrates his accomplishments by spotlighting the artistic talents of adult RI artists with a wide range of physical, cognitive and mental health disabilities.

During Paul Sherlock’s career as teacher, legislator and Director of Special Education his commitment as an advocate for people with disabilities transformed Rhode Island into becoming a place where exhibits such as this - and the unseen work that takes place to assist the artist’s creative process - are possible.

The artworks on display demonstrate a breadth of style and images - art that is as varied in method and expression as the life experiences of the individual artists; artworks demonstrating a rich and diverse backdrop for appreciating that it is not preconceived notions of what "disability" is that defines these artists but their passion for creating art.

The Sherlock Show is made possible with generous support from the RI State Council on the Arts, RI Department of BHDDH, Division of Developmental Disabilities and Nordson EFD Corporation Foundation.
