Art exhibition for all abilities AN exhibition celebrating artworks by people living with autism and other disabilities will open next month. The initiative is run by Statewide Autistic Services. The organisation’s CEO Kath Ferry said the “SASI art show and competition gives us the chance to show the wider community the creativity and sheer talent of people from within community.” “There are very few opportunities across Victoria for people with autism and other disabilities to present their art in a public forum and have their work appreciated by the wider community and SASI is proud to showcase such
an opportunity,” she said. At an opening night event the organisation will hand out three awards for the most outstanding pieces. The exhibition will take place at the Frankston Arts Centre between 17 November and 23 November.
