The OSLP Arts & Culture Program breaks down barriers to participation in the arts for people of all abilities. We are a leader in inclusive community arts for people of all abilities. Our vision is achieved through its diverse and inclusive classes and workshops, on-and-off site exhibitions, mentorships, and unique community collaborations.
In the gallerySPRING ART SHOWCASEThe exhibition runs March 1st through 29th. In the Community Gallery is the "Second Chance So Small Art Sale." If you didn't make it to our annual So Small Miniature Art Show & Auction last June, you have a second chance to take home some delightfully tiny art and to get inspired for So Small 2019!

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!
