Honeywell
sponsors exhibition of work by artists with physical disabilities
and learning difficulties : "Artability"
BRACKNELL, UK,
14 FEBRUARY 2002 - “The Place” at Letchworth Arts Centre is
hosting “Artability”, a vibrant and colourful exhibition of
recent work by fourteen artists with physical disabilities and
learning difficulties. Sponsored
by Honeywell Home Comfort Controls, Artability is open from
Mondays to Saturdays, February 23rd to March 16th
2002 inclusive.
The
artists are all from North London and attend either the Flight
Ways Resource Centre in Colinwood or the Norwood Ravenshead
charity’s groups in Hendon and Stanmore.
Explained Nikki Catt Morrison, art tutor and facilitator
these venues: “The exhibition is a celebration of the artists’
abilities and aims to break down barriers by opening people’s
eyes to the wider issues surrounding disability.
The paintings are amazing, with superb use of colours,
great vibrancy and confidence in technique. The knowledge that
each artist has a form of disability adds an intensity to the
viewer’s appreciation of their ability and self-expression.”
To
accompany the exhibition, The Place is inviting members of the
community to respond to the question “What does disability mean
to you?” Participants
can respond through images, poetry, photography or film.
Their work will be displayed alongside the Artability
exhibition
The
Place is at Letchworth Arts Centre, 18-20 Leys Avenue, Letchworth,
Hertfordshire. Artability
is open from February 23rd to March 16th on
Tuesdays and Wednesdays from noon to 6pm, Thursdays 10am-6pm,
Fridays and Saturdays 10am-4pm; closed on Sundays and Mondays.
