The new Arts Access Gallery is dedicated to showcasing and selling the work of artists with disabilities — the only one in the region. The small, intimate space is the perfect venue to immerse yourself in a rotating slate of different artists throughout the year. Visitors will also get a chance to participate in artist talkbacks and related events.
For its grand opening, the Art Access Gallery is hosting well-known Raleigh based artist Jean Gray Mohs’ exhibition “Woven Strangers”. Her 15-piece collection of wood and acrylic art will be available for view beginning March 1. Mohs, who had a double lung transplant, often contrasts materials like maple plywood and waxed thread in her pieces which reflect the interplay of strength and fragility in the face of her chronic illness.
