Check out L'Arche art exhibit at Tom Davies

An exhibit of artwork created by artists who are members of the L'Arche community around the globe takes place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 2 at Tom Davies Square.

The artwork will remain at Tom Davies Square Oct. 9 for public viewing.

Put on by L'Arche Sudbury, the event offers a window into the gifts of L’Arche artists around the world.

It's a platform for the person with an intellectual disability to articulate their artistic talents in engaging, beautiful visual expressions.

"Take your time relishing each painting, let it speak to you, draw you in … It will be worth your while I promise you," said Hazel Bradley, L’Arche international jubilee co-ordinator, in a press release.

Founded by Jean Vanier in France in 1964, L`Arche is an international movement of 146 communities in 35 countries where people with intellectual disabilities and those who care for them live, work and learn together.

L`Arche is a unique vision of care giving and community building that fosters inclusion, understanding and belonging.
