Frame Work: Soul Studio exhibition celebrates artists with special needs

• The selected pieces reflect the artists' imagination, individuality and joy.
• "Through color, texture, and personal expression, they invite viewers to slow down, truly see the person behind the work, and recognize the power that comes from being seen," per an exhibition summary.

The intrigue: The quote that influenced the show titled "A Little Bit of Light" comes from a Jewish spiritual leader and thinker, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi.

Context: Under the nonprofit Friendship Circle, Soul Studio offers studio space and support for artists with special needs, providing inspiration and creative career development in painting, woodworking, digital arts and more.

If you go: The exhibition is at the J — Detroit's Janice Charach Gallery, 6600 W. Maple Road.

• It runs through April 15, with an artist talk at 1pm March 29.
• Hours are 10am-4pm Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays; and 11am-7pm Thursdays.
