Proud friends and parents take pictures of the artists with intellectual disabilities at the Connecting Artists 2023 exhibition, hosted by RCSI in Dublin. The walls of the gallery are half panelled with wood and the rest of the room in bright teal, with gold framed pictures lining the walls. A colourful mix of attendees take photos of two Connecting Artists. Their backs are to the camera as they hold up two canvases.
