The Children's Day Program Smithtown and Huntington Art Clubs took a field trip to DDI's Main Street Masterpieces last week to see the "Fly Me to the Moon" exhibit. They had an awesome time, and the Art Gallery Assistant, Ariana, also had an outer space-themed project for the students to make. The current exhibit features artwork by artists from the Children's Residential Program and the Adult Day Services Program. Most of the artwork is for sale, and the proceeds go right back to the artist! Visit the link in our bio to view the virtual exhibit of Fly Me to the Moon and the complete gallery of artwork for sale. #Exhibit #FlyMeToTheMoon #ArtGallery #Artist #MainStreetMasterpieces #DDI #DDIFamily #Autism
