Artists' Reception: Through My Eyes
Tuesday, July 1 • 3:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Kick off Disability Pride Month and join us for a reception to celebrate the artists in Through My Eyes, featuring work created in Geneva Public Library’s community outreach programs, in partnership with Books and Beyond, Joshua Tree, Marklund, Mid-Valley Special Education Cooperative, and Rising Lights Project.
These programs bring art, conversation, and creative connection directly into the community. Each piece reflects the artist’s unique perspective and the relationships that make self-expression possible. We’re honored to share their voices with you.
The reception is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
