Crossing the Bridge

13th APRIL 2007: Exhibition opening at the Serpentine Gallery.

 “Crossing the Bridge” showcases the diverse talents of young artists

 studying with RED - REALISE EVERY DREAM - Inc,

 a Lismore based organisation providing support services

 for young people with disabilities who have finished high school.

Featuring over 100 artworks from more than 25 artists who are aged 18-30,

 the exhibition is a bridge for these young people

to communicate their world to the wider community.

  “Art is a vehicle that bridges the gap and enhances communication

 for artists with disabilities and the wider community.

 It’s also something that can highlight the positive aspects of disability culture”,

- Red Inc art teacher Kerrie Divett.
