The Hand in H'Art Exhibit will begin Tuesday July 7, 2009 and continue through Friday July 17, 2009 featuring many different art forms created by individuals with Developmental Disabilities who receive services from Mosaic. A very unique piece of artwork created by renowned artist Karen Rossi will also be on display during the Hand in H'Art Exhibit.
