The Franklin Art Scene returns Friday, September 5th. Twenty merchants all over downtown Franklin will be showcasing local art and O’More College of Design will have a very intriguing exhibit.
Research has shown that those who suffer with dyslexia tend to be highly creative individuals. Decoding Dyslexia, a national program aimed at getting the latest dyslexia research into the hands of educators, will showcase the artwork of 20 local dyslexic artists, including O’More students past and present, at the college. The featured artist is Angelina Mazzanti. Mazzanti will showcase her sculptures and mixed media pieces, which express to the viewer how she perceives things when she reads and writes.
You can see more of Angelina’s work on Facebook HERE.
About Decoding Dyslexia
One in five students struggle with dyslexia, a statistic that inspired a group of parents to partner together and create Decoding Dyslexia. First formed in New Jersey, Decoding Dyslexia now has a model for other states and can be found in 47 states! The Tennessee chapter is nearing its first anniversary. Help them celebrate by visiting O’More this Friday night to see these pieces of art and support those struggling with dyslexia. For more info on Decoding Dyslexia TN visit www.dyslexiaisreal.com.
