Tonight all are welcome to visit and start fresh in this emerging group! The intention of LGBTQ+ WAE is to bring together a group of people who share similar life experiences and to enjoy the support of that community. The goal: to lessen the isolation and reduce stereotypes and misperceptions of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) who identify as LGBTQ+. https://www.jsddmetrowest.org/lgbtq-wae/ Link in bio ☝️ To Learn More, contact the Group Facilitator,  Oscar Marin at Omarin@jsddmetrowest.org #Friendsgiving #LGBTQ #IDDPride #DisabilityAdvocate #JSDD #jsddswaecenter #WAEcenter #WAE #holisticcenter #artcenter #findingthesparkwithin

A Visit to the George Segal Gallery The other wee A Visit to the George Segal Gallery The other week we took a virtual tour with Adam Swart from the Montclair State University George Segal Gallery. This was our second virtual art trip, this time focusing on the theme of Pop Art.    Adam gave a description of Pop Art and a brief history, taking it back to its roots in England.  He then introduced the group to a work by Andy Warhol, and sought feedback from everyone on their thoughts around the print.  We went on to see works by Warhol, Robert Anderson and Koichi Enomoto. Everyone had a great time expanding their knowledge and we want to thank Adam for leading a fun, interactive, engaging, thoughtful, provoking, and inspiring art tour… . . . #WAEcenter #WAE #JSDD #jsddswaecenter #findingthesparkwithin #artheals #artcenter #supportthearts #artexhibit #artshow #virtualexhibition #virtualgallery #artwithoutlimits #njarts #Art #Artistswithdisabilities
