Artists exhibit their talents after overcoming learning disabilities
ARTISTS with learning disabilities have put their work on show and met visitors to the exhibition.
"Exploration", on show at the Leatherhead Theatre, is the brainchild of artists Nickova Behling and Sue Sargeaunt, and was designed to give people usually excluded from visual art the chance to express themselves.
