Art Counts is an art exhibition for aspiring artists with disability and carers who live in the Hunter region. Started in 2010 by the Disability Network Hunter, this annual event is now facilitated by Octapod. In its fourth year, Art Counts aims to provide opportunities for artists with disability to not only showcase their unique talents and gifts but to engage with the community through a creative medium. An Art Market will be held on the day of the official opening, Wednesday 13th November. Stallholders wanted. Entry into the exhibition is free.
