Join us for an extended tour of Intimacy: The Artistic Community of PASC with the curators of the exhibition, Abel González Fernández, Assistant Curator at MOCAD, and Anthony Marcellini, PASC Program Manager at Services To Enhance Potential (STEP). The exhibition surveys the past three years of growth within the Progressive Art Studio Collective (PASC), a program that supports artists with developmental disabilities and mental health differences to advance their professional art careers. During the tour, the curators will discuss how the exhibition came to fruition, discuss some of the individual artworks, and celebrate the PASC artists who contributed to the exhibition. Intimacy: The Artistic Community of PASCfeatures the work of 37 artists who engage with visual anecdotes, art historical and cultural referents, and various states of emotional intensity.
