Art Expo to shine light on artistic talent and abilities of people with disabilities from around Ohio.

This two day art expo will be an event you won’t want to miss! The All Abilities Art Expo started in April of 2018. With the support of the local community it is happening once again! The art expo is unique in nature. There are not many events like it. It has accessibility features for people from all walks of life. We will have braille text at each table so people who need braille can read about the artists. We will have programs available in regular print and in braille. There will be an ASL person on site if needed and the facility is wheelchair accessible.
The Expo is free to the community. We welcome the community to come out and encourage artists.
