Who says that Bank projects cannot be poetic?
 Twenty-five artists with developmental and/or mental disabilities share with us their interpretation of past Bank projects in thirty delightful, tender, colorful and playful artworks. An additional six dramatic interpretations of their work by fabric artist Claudette Lopez-Lewis, a friend of the program now working in New York, enhance the show.
