COMMUNITY ART EXHIBIT 2024
The summer solstice marks a time of vibrant energy, long days, and the beauty of nature in full bloom. During this time, the sun shines at its peak length, and we are kicking off the summer energy with an art gallery exhibiting a vibrant collection of original artwork submitted by Deaf, DeafBlind, DeafDisabled and Hard of Hearing artists, both locally and nationwide.

Jena Floyd: Solo Art Exhibit
@ Fremont Arts Abbey
Deaf Spotlight believes in promoting local Deaf artists and their works. Deaf Spotlight is excited to support one of the upcoming art exhibitions featuring Jena Floyd’s works.
Jena Floyd is an emerging artist, versatile in areas of painting, inking, and digital illustration. This will be her first open showcase reflecting her personal themes in hopes to simultaneously inspire social change and address spirituality -- as she strongly believes that both aforementioned topics are deeply entangled yet somewhat superficially intertwined.
