Than Boutelle, above, recently submitted several pieces of his artwork to the "SHIFT: An International Juried Exhibition by Artists with Disabilities" set for June 3-30, 2011. If selected, his work will be on display at the Kennedy Center. According to Boutelle's art instructor, Candy Pease of Passages Inc., the exhibit seeks to investigate those moments that alter the direction of a person's path and create a new reality.
Several of Boutelle's photographs and paintings will be available for purchase tonight, March 17, 2011, at "Paintings, Pickles & Patrick," a fundraiser that supports Passages Inc.'s art program for disabled adults. The art auction is open to the community from 5-7:30 p.m. at Northeastern REMC's Touchstone Energy Room, just north of Coesse of US 30.
