The exhibition is titled: Art from the Heart, an exhibition of Artists with Different Abilities

Where: 1086 Burnhamthorpe Rd. East , Oakville , Ontario L6H 7B2

(1 km East of Trafalgar Rd. and North of HWY # 5)

When: January 12 – February 15, 2012

Opening Celebration on January 15

This may be your first exhibition or one of many. Either way please apply and share your visual art with us, including drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, mixed media, and sculpture.

Please e-mail us your name, contact information, example of your artwork, and description of your disability. If you don’t have a picture of your artwork handy, you can tell us about it instead. No stress! Feel free to send an e-mail if you have any questions or need support.

Once we have several artists apply we will contact you back to learn more. There is limited space so if you don’t exhibit this year we can hold your application for next year if you like.
