“Finding Happiness” art exhibit

A new art exhibit at Drake University features the diverse works of more than 20 adults with intellectual disabilities. The result of a partnership between the Drake University Department of Art and Design and Mosaic of Central Iowa, “Finding Happiness” is open to the public now through April 7 in the Weeks Art Gallery of the Harmon Fine Arts Center.

Senior Katelyn Canepa, a psychology major with a minor in studio drawing, created the project after working with Mosaic at a group home teaching art skills to an adult with an intellectual disability. Mosaic is a non-profit organization that serves adults with intellectual disabilities throughout central Iowa. Read more about this unique exhibit in the Drake Newsroom.
