Let the Celebration of Art Begin!
February 28, 2023
Throughout March, almost 100 pieces of artwork created by individuals who have developmental disabilities will be on display at the Great Lakes Mall in Mentor, Ohio.
This year, we asked that art submissions reflect what it means to be 'Uniquely Me in 2023'. We were inspired by the entries and think you will be too!
Keep connected with us view our E-News and follow up on social media @DeepwoodLakeDD to see updates and photos of the artwork. Follow #UniquelyMeIn2023 to see all that is being celebrated in March Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month.
