Exhibit on display now until April 30.

The Emerging Artists consists of adult artists with Intellectual Developmental Disability (IDD) who are passionate and driven to create artwork. They work in a studio at the Johnson County Arts and Heritage Center from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.

In addition to earning income, artists have had the door open to equal citizenship, personal growth, communication, self-expression, and self-esteem because of this program. Each artist has their own style of creative expression and are seen as adult artists, not their disability. This remarkable employment program is offered by Johnson County Developmental Supports (JCDS).
