Join us for the opening reception of I AM on Tuesday, March 19, 5-7 p.m. at the Diana E. Murphy U.S. Courthouse.

The United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, in collaboration with Fresh Eye Gallery, presents I Am, a juried group exhibition of work created by artists with developmental disabilities living in Minnesota.

The I Am exhibition celebrates the diversity of the human experience. From individuals to large organizations, all of us benefit from a more inclusive, equitable world. By amplifying the voices of people with developmental disabilities, we acknowledge their expertise in their own creativity, experiences, ideas, and challenges. With this exhibition, our goal is to showcase and celebrate artists with disabilities living in Minnesota and foster education and understanding in the community as a whole.
