When we think about great artists, we think about inspired works, and skilled creativity.  But did you know that some of our greatest artists lived with intense disabilities? 

•           Henri Matisse believed he was given a new lease on his creative life after being wheelchair-bound from abdominal cancer

•           Chuck Close suffered severe paralysis and used his disability to find creative solutions to overcome his physical limitations

•           Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama creates vivid polka dot art while battling OCD, bipolar disorder and hallucinations

Join us for a virtual program presented by Charlotte Hollander who will discuss the inspirational stories of these artists and many more!
