The observation deck and second-floor hall of the Munroe-Meyer Institute turned into a fullblown art gallery, showcasing more than 160 works from 38 artists.<\/p>\n\n\n

Art was on display for a little over a week on the second-floor of the Munroe-Meyer Institute.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The show, which ran for a week in early May, is part of the Trailblazers\u2019 Advocacy and the Arts program, an arts-based learning opportunity for students with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program is designed for individuals 18 and older. Under the guidance of MMI faculty and professional teaching artists, students develop advocacy skills, build upon their art skills and increase self-confidence while exploring a variety of mediums and arts-based careers, said Rachel Ray, assistant professor at MMI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlthough students gain a variety of important skills, this is not art therapy or an arts-and-crafts program,\u201d Ray said. \u201cWe run this like a professional studio in which the artists are in control of their artwork from selecting the medium to the color palette.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several mediums were on display in the art show, including sculptures made from 3D pen, drawings with charcoal, colored pencil, oil pastel and markers as well as plaster engravings and written works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
