Children with special needs often have a perspective that many people in the so-called “normal” education system lack. Kids in special needs education enjoy and appreciate art as much as anyone else, often producing artworks full of purity, sincerity, and simplicity. Art gives us all a rare opportunity for self-expression, and children with special needs are no exception.

The “Same Art, Different Angle” Exhibition of Artworks by Children with Special Needs will open at 09:30 on May 25, running until 18:30 on May 26. The exhibition will be held in the UCCA Atrium.
