STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS EXHIBIT ARTWORK

“A picture is worth a thousand words.” The students from the School for Language and Communication Development (SLCD) certainly understand the meaning of that quote as they have been eagerly producing their works of art to share with family, friends, and the community at a special art exhibit at the JBS Gallery in Manhattan on Wednesday, March 3rd from 6:00pm to 9:00pm.

“We are extremely blessed to have such talented students at our school and cannot wait for them to be able to show off all of their hard work and dedication,” said Dr. Ellenmorris Tiegerman, Founder and Executive Director of SLCD. “We cannot thank Joseph Sprung enough for allowing us the chance to display our children’s artwork and utilize the beautiful JBS Gallery. Our students are so excited to be able to share their masterpieces for all to see.”

All proceeds from the Art Show will increase awareness for children with language disorders and autism and benefit SLCD’s current programs and initiatives.

Joseph Sprung, owner of the JBS Gallery and Founder of the non-profit organization, Beargivers.org, comments, “We are more than happy to host this exhibit for the second time. We know it will give the greater New York City community a chance to see what these talented children can do and how SLCD promotes creativity while encouraging a sense of pride for a job well done.”
