One of works featured in the show is a 6-foot canvas titled “Dancer in the Night” by Toledo artist Tara Murphy.
Murphy said she was inspired to create this piece by the events of COVID-19 pandemic to remind us all that we can dance in the middle of darkness, according to a spokesperson for the Montgomery County Board of Developmental Disabilities.
