Artists from Community Access to the Arts and Seven Hills Pediatric Center: Outside the Box

Open Door Gallery

September 24, 2019–January 9, 2020

Higgins Education Wing

David Gardner, 'Willy Wonka', 2019

Discover the incredible paintings created by artists using adaptive art-making techniques— and explore the extraordinary processes that allow them to bring their creative vision to life. Outside the Box highlights work by artists using Artistic Realization Technologies (A.R.T.), a process developed by artist Tim Lefens, and Free Expressions, a technique derived from the A.R.T. process. These innovative techniques give full artistic control to people with significant physical disabilities through the use of laser pointers and close collaboration with a trained “tracker” who acts as the artists’ hands. Through these techniques, artists are able to express their creative ideas and create stunning works of art.
