CITY GALLERY in Kenmore City Hall is celebrating Disability Awareness by taking a dynamic dive into creative applications and interpretations of sight-impaired artists from around the country.

Featuring artists John Bramblitt, Charles Blackwell, Elizabeth Castellano, Fred San Guiliano, Stella De Genova, and Jim Stevens.
