Nina Needleman and two friends initiated and co-sponsored an art exhibit entitled Artists First: Connection, Cohesion & Changeability.
It features 20 Artists First artists, each with their own unique story to tell. Artists First is a non-profit open art studio that fosters independence through creative self-expression for adults with pervasive mental illness, developmental disabilities and traumatic brain injury. The exhibit takes place in the Nancy Spirtas Kranzberg Gallery at the Sheldon through Aug. 6.
