Fellowship Place Artists Invited to Exhibit at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford

The Fellowship Place art exhibit “Renewal” will be on display at the Legislative Office Building at the State Capitol from June 1st -June 30th.  Thirteen members of ArtShip, one of several Expressive Arts groups facilitated by the agency, are included in the show. ArtShip at Fellowship Place is an artists’ cooperative comprised of individuals who routinely show and sell their work in various settings in the community.  With art, there is a level playing field, free of the consequences of stigma.  With each work, renewal, growth, and personal peace are possible.
