“3R Concepts–Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,” an exhibition of works produced by individuals with disabilities, opens Thursday at George V. Deneff Gallery in Long Beach.
The exhibit was organized through Arts N Services for Disabled (ASD), a nonprofit that maintains four day programs for adults with intellectual disabilities and two galleries, the Deneff and the Artifact Gallery. Community-based workshops aimed at unlocking the artistic talents of those with disabilities are also offered in Orange and Los Angeles counties by ASD.
The newest exhibit features diverse works that drive home the importance of the three R's–not reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic but reducing, reusing and recycling. It opens with a reception from 6-8 p.m. at the gallery, 3962 Studebaker Road, Ste. 206, Long Beach. The exhibition continues through Oct. 1 by appointment between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.
