The OSLP Arts & Culture Program breaks down barriers to participation in the arts for people of all abilities. Our vision is achieved by providing diverse and inclusive classes and workshops, on-and-off site exhibitions, mentorships, and unique community collaborations.

Days of Culture, Train of Thought
by Kim Stafford
 
Here’s how art works: someone
sitting in a chair, or standing on the ground,
or perching on a ladder marks a vision
to sustain someone passing by in haste--
a train of thought, a dream in paint, a façade
that once was brick but now is dressed
to brighten the maker and the witness
equally, art-supported living vibrant at engine
and caboose, youth and age, beginner
and old master. For some see wall and think
wall. Some see a person struggling for ordinary
rights and only see the struggle. But some see
a wall as space for color, and a person struggling
as art maker, pleasure maker, hands for brightening
any corner, any wall, any space in the humdrum
that could be vibrant and alive. The train is a wall
is art is the work of noble hands.
All aboard!
