As some of you may know, The Arts Experience festival returns to Hobart & William Smith's campus this coming Monday, April 16.  This event gives attendees -- ranging from the college community, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and the general public -- the opportunity to explore various means of expression through the arts.  It is a wonderful partnership between the HWS and the Collaborative of the Finger Lakes -- a regional association of 11 chapters of NYSARC, Inc. located in the Finger Lakes (including Ontario ARC).  Obviously, we are very excited for Monday and the festival's kick off! 

We are also excited to announce that on Thursday, April 19 at 7 p.m.,  the festival will have a viewing of "Wretchers & Jabberers" -- an awesome documentary featuring two men with autism who embark on a global quest to change attitudes about disability.  The film's stars -- Tracey Thresher and Larry Bissonette -- will be on hand afterwards to answer questions and discuss their work.  The discussion will be facilitated by our very own Senior Associate Executive Director Noreen Quinn and The Colleges' associate professor of education Helen McCabe.  We hope you'll join us in the Vandervort Room!!
