Artistic Futures with Gabrielle Deerman of Salmon River Studios

Artists Artist's Nicholas Steiner Bell and Keifer Blight show their body as part of the Artistic Futures program. Artistic Futures is a program facilitated by Gabriel Deerman of Salmon River Studios in partnership with New Leaf Link.

The year long mentorship culminated in this art show at the Tett Centre for Learning & Creativity in Kingtson, Ontario.

"Artistic Futures provides adults with special needs the opportunity to work one on one with a professional artist mentor with the goal of supporting the development of studio skills/routines, the production/exhibition of bodies of original art works and the establishment of professional practices."

I certainly teared up more than once editing these proud mothers speaking about their sons.
