'Creative Correspondence' Oasis Student and Artist Collaboration

On Friday night, collaborative work between mentally handicapped students from Oasis and local artists was put on display at the Magic Garden in Philadelphia.

I was excited to be a part of this collaboration and even more excited to see all of the finished work. It was by far the most colorful body of work I've ever seen grouped together at once, and the overwhelmingly busy atmosphere of the magic garden and its many twists and turns was a perfect location for the show.

I took photos of the two pieces my "buddy" and I started and finished for each other, as well as some pieces that I thought turned out really well:

Here is the 'before' and 'after' of the first piece:





Here's the piece I finished:



And here are some pieces I thought looked great!
