Some of the artists at Verve Vertu have entered pieces in The 2010-2011 Annual Art Ability Exhibit, which will be on display from November 6, 2010 through January 16, 2011 at Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital in Malvern, PA. Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital’s Art Ability is an international, juried exhibition and sale of art and fine crafts that features work by artists with physical, cognitive, hearing and visual disabilities. 8 artists have submitted pieces and now we have to wait until august 7 to see if they have been accepted in to the exhibit, we'll be very surprised if they aren't all accepted because the art they produced is outstanding:
