With its theme, Future is Accessible, Independent Living Vernon is putting on a festival art show in honour of International Day of Persons Living with Disabilities.
The half-dozen or so artists participating are local people living with disabilities, including Louise Cain.
“The event is a good way of showing that people with disabilities have incredible talents,” Cain said. “It is pretty empowering.”
