this one also has some pretty good articles at the bottom of the page. i didn't want to rip-off the website so i won't post them unless you feel like they would be beneficial to have. i'm always taking recommendations so send me a message if you would like me to add anything.

i found this wonderful little art gallery on fairlie poplar in downtown atlanta over by gsu. they feature artwork made only by people with disabilities and i must say, they had some very nice stuff in there. i bought a couple of cards with prints of cut paper mosaics of animals to send to my nieces that they would like. i felt back that i didn't have enough money to buy one of the gorgeous hand knitted scarves that they had on display. i looked online to see if i could find one like it that i could afford but after hours of searching have not been able to find its equal... and that is saying something. they also had some glass blown christmas ornaments stuffed with material that turned out beautifully. also worth mentioning were the exhibition of the patterned origami christmas trees. their website is:
http://www.vsarts.org/
and is definitely worth checking out

...has anyone else found any remarkable artwork created by schizophrenics or others with any kind of disabilities? are their websites where we could view the art/ programs?
