A man in a wheelchair and a woman share a joyful moment under colorful stage lights. The man, smiling broadly, is wearing casual attire and appears to be celebrating. The woman, standing beside him, looks upwards with a smile, wearing a black top and red pants.

Post-Performance Reception & Art Exhibition

Join us for a post-performance reception in the Liberty Hall Academic Center lobby. Mingle with the Matheny Arts Access writers and explore the art exhibition Transcending Boundaries: The Artist at Work, on view through May 1, 2026. 

Transcending Boundaries – The Artist at Work brings together a powerful collection of artwork created through the Matheny Arts Access Program. At the heart of Transcending Boundaries is the idea that art is a universal language, one that reaches beyond the boundaries of speech, culture, and physical ability. The exhibition celebrates the uniquely creative and compelling approaches these artists bring to the studio—shaped by curiosity, authenticity, and a limitless commitment to expression. 

No tickets are necessary to visit the exhibition.
