This work of art was created by an MRC artWorks artist. MRC artWorks, a program of MRC Industries, Inc., is an art gallery, studio, and retail store located on the Kalamazoo Mall in the heart of downtown Kalamazoo. MRC artWorks offers individuals with disabilities an outlet to achieve creative self‐expression in a way that promotes personal growth, dignity, and self-confidence. All artists receive a commission for the sale of their work, which not only serves as their source of income, but also enhances and reinforces their self-esteem and self-worth. MRC artWorks provides a safe, positive, and creative environment that focuses on the individual’s abilities rather than their disabilities.
