My first encounter with this group was at a screening of a video they created with MN Public Television being shown at the Bloomington Art Center. It had great visuals of arts in community service. After the screening I met a photographer who collaborated with his mother, a poet, to create an extraordinarily beautiful book. The networking at this gathering involved a joyful dance experience. This group facilitates a broad spectrum of creative experiences for people with limited accessibility and will use their resources well.
