STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mississippi State’s T.K. Martin Center for Technology and Disability is hosting its fourth annual art show and auction in early April to benefit its art program for individuals with disabilities.
The Express Yourself! Art Auction “In Bloom” takes place April 4, 3-6 p.m. at the center on 326 Hardy Road. Participants in the art program will have pieces available for purchase, such as greeting cards, prints, paintings and ceramics. The event also includes a silent auction and light refreshments.
The auction is the primary fundraiser for the Express Yourself! program, which includes a weekly program for children, individual lessons for all ages and a summer camp.
“We are excited to showcase our artists’ work and greatly appreciate the community’s support, as this event serves as one of our largest fundraisers for the program,” said Kasee Stratton-Gadke, executive director of the Mississippi Institute on Disabilities, which houses the T.K. Martin Center. “Each original piece purchased benefits the artist and the program with sales split between each.”
The T.K. Martin Center for Technology and Disability provides comprehensive, multidisciplinary evaluations and services to ensure individuals with disabilities continually benefit from supports to reach their academic, vocational and behavioral health goals.
