ANEW

ANEW is the 2020-21 Inclusive Arts Vermont exhibition showcasing works by 29 Vermont artists with disabilities. The included artwork represents each artists’ unique interpretation of the title – highlighting beginnings, doorways, fresh starts, and opportunity. The mission of Inclusive Arts Vermont is to engage the capabilities and enhance the confidence of children and adults with disabilities.
