Rainbow Thursdays Artists is a community-based art education program connecting disabled adults with professional artists who provide them with materials, training and encouragement to express themselves through art. The program encompasses study of great artworks, the natural world, and images of people through books and photographs, and encourages each participant to understand drawing as their unique visual language with which they can create realistic and abstract form and systems, and express emotion and ideas through line and color. We hope you enjoy this sampling of the many artworks the group produced in the 2017/18 season. The subjects ranged widely: angels and saints, animals, Puerto Rican landscapes, the idea of abstract art itself, bugs and happy monsters, snowmen, hearts, flowers, dinosaurs, big ships, schmoos, clocks, playing cards, the Panama Canal, cathedrals, the Black Panther and of course, a variety of rainbows.
