A new art exhibit, On The World With The World, debuted Saturday, Feb. 1, to a full house and an open panel discussion at the University of Michigan’s Institute of the Humanities. All featured works come from the Progressive Art Studio Collective, an open art studio founded in Detroit in 2021 by Anthony Marcellini for artists with disabilities. In conversation with Marcellini at the opening were Amanda Krugliak, an art curator at the institute, and Paige Wery, the founder of the Tierra Del Sol art studio in Los Angeles which also provides open-studio resources to artists with disabilities in that area.
