Unbroken: Art After Injury 2016

Art shapes our ideas of who we are as individuals and influences who we are as members of society. Unbroken includes voices of artists with spinal cord injuries and disease (SCI/D) and celebrates their contributions, talent, creativity and personal stories. This visual storytelling is a glimpse of the accomplishments, pain, happiness, loss, and beauty of a few individuals with spinal cord injury and paralysis.  The show celebrates Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Awareness Month! Some artwork will be for sale (100% of art sales goes to the artists). Exhibit runs September 8-28, 2016 (FREE VIEWING) Opening Night Celebration & Silent Auction– September 9, 2016 Bridgeport Arts Center – 3rd Floor Gallery (East Sculpture Garden Entrance) 1200 W 35th St. Chicago, IL 60609 (Complimentary Parking) (Attire: Cocktail) A limited number of need-based tickets available CONTACT: info@backbonesonline.com VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES!
