Voices – a Virtual Arts Exhibition

Ivy Huang, a student from the University of Maryland, collected images of art created by people with speech or language disorders. A part of ArtsFest 2022, Ivy curated this exhibition.

To see the art, go to https://expressionexhibit.wixsite.com/exhibit2022/project-09

Ivy visited IAM to describe her project. A number of participants in IAM are included in the exhibition – Martina Beverly, Donna Blum, Charlene Edwards, Jonathan Kreuter, and Kitty Tong.

All the art works are unique and expressive. Each artist also made a statement about their art.

Thanks for creating this lovely exhibition, Ivy!
