Seventeen works by Creations artists are included in the Albright-Knox Art Gallery’s “ARTs Unbound” exhibit, which features art made by people with disabilities at human-service organizations in Western New York. This is the fourth straight year that artists from TRC’s Creations program have had their works included in the ARTs Unbound exhibit.

The Creations program enables people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to express through their art what they might not be able to convey through words or actions. Paintings and other works of art made by Creations artists have been displayed in many local, regional and state-wide exhibits over the years, and some of the artists have won awards for the quality of their work.

Susan Gutierrez, TRC’s art instructor, said the works included in the Albright-Knox exhibit were created within the past year by participants in TRC’s day programs in Dunkirk and Jamestown.

“The artwork truly showcases the unique and amazing talents of the TRC artists,” Susan said.

ARTs Unbound will be on display through October 21. The Albright-Knox is located at 1285 Elmwood Avenue. The gallery is open from 10:00 to 5:00 Tuesday to Sunday. There are admission and parking fees. For more information, phone 882-8700 or visit www.albrightknox.org.
