Inside Out Art
Experience the world through the eyes of adults with developmental disabilities. When they express their personal vision through art, they prove to be remarkably gifted, creating works that will astonish and move you. L.A. GOAL [lagoal.org] is a Culver City non-profit whose vision is to create a more open society where people with developmental disabilities can enjoy full inclusion in their communities.
The March Art Wall will feature Inside Out Art, an exhibit featuring artists from L.A. GOAL’s professional art studio: Inside Out Productions. Several artists will exhibit their drawings, paintings, ceramics, sewing, quilting, weaving, embroidery, photograph, woodblock prints, or multimedia works. The general public is welcome.
All works are for sale with eighty percent of the proceeds going to the individual artists and twenty percent to the church.
Artists Opening Reception Sunday March 9, 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Open 9:00 am – 1:00 pm on Sundays in March starting on March 9. Open weekdays by appointment, contact assistant@uusm.org

At least two artists from Inside Out Productions will welcome guests at the artists opening reception. Light refreshments will be served and extra tables will be set up for additional work.
Lisie Y. artist statement: “Drawing and painting come hard to me because I am legally blind and I cannot create the images that I want to make. I never thought in my wildest dreams I would be weaving or embroidering. I used to say “I can’t do it” until sewing staff told me to just try it and now I’m loving it. I feel accomplished and proud to be able to do weaving.”
David H. artist statement: “I like the birds flying, the clouds, everything about it. First I sketch, then I pick the fabric, then I do the embroidery. It was hard using yarn the first time but I like it a lot. This piece makes me feel proud.”
