AHRC NYC Fisher Center, an East Harlem-based day program, provides adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities opportunities to express, hone and share their creative skills. And in partnership with the non-profit Intertwine Arts, it offers a hugely impressive fiber arts program. Currently on view at the Gallery at W83 is a delightful collection of fiber art, drawings and paintings by AHRC NYC Fisher Center artists — created with the support of teaching artists Jon Bunge, Naomi Lawrence and Anna-Maie Southern.
Featured above are yarn weavings and colored pencil drawings by the cheerful art-lover Gabriel Ruiz. What follows are several more images of artworks currently on view at the gallery at W83.
