July Gallery Show: The Words He Cannot say

Description

Leo Bird, an artist and writer from Ames, Iowa, created the graphic memoir The Words He Cannot Say to share his journey of navigating autism, bullying, and self-discovery with the help of supportive people in his life. 

Through honest storytelling and a distinct visual style influenced by contrast and simplicity, Leo's work transforms life into art, inspiring kindness, courage, and reflection.

And don’t miss the artist reception - from 5 to 8 PM on Friday, July 11 - featuring live music with John Heasley, artful charcuterie and a cash bar.

In the mini-gallery, find artwork created through the Art Center's Artscapes program by individuals from local therapy groups, senior living communities, and adult day-hab programs. 

Both the reception and the month-long show are free and open to the public.
