The Council on Developmental Disabilities is preparing for our annual arts issue of our magazine Breaking Ground that features artwork by and about Tennesseans with disabilities. Borderless Arts TN and the Tennessee Arts Commission are their partners in this endeavor. We are honored and proud to once again be part of this annual issue.
