Open Hearts Art Center is proud to celebrate its 20th anniversary with a community celebration on Friday, September 12th from 5 to 8 PM at its downtown studio at 217 Coxe Avenue.
The evening will feature light refreshments, music with Open Hearts own DJ Sparky, a festive photo booth station, and the official opening of the OHAC Staff Art Exhibit, showcasing personal work by Open Hearts staff members. Select OHAC artist’s artwork and handmade paper flower bouquets will also be available for purchase.
This milestone event also falls during DSP Appreciation Week (September 7 to 13), a nationally recognized time to celebrate Direct Support Professionals. The staff exhibit offers a unique opportunity to highlight the creativity, care, and commitment of our DSPs, who are the heart of our day-to-day operations.
This celebration marks 20 years of empowering adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities through the arts. The milestone belongs to every artist, staff member, family, and community supporter who has been part of the journey.
This event is free and open to the public. Donations are greatly appreciated, with 100% of all contributions directly supporting Open Hearts’ mission to provide creative opportunities, inclusion, and empowerment for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
