Greetings from the Eisemann Center!

The Forrest and Virginia Green Mezzanine Gallery is free to view, and open daily to the public. Located in the heart of Galatyn Parkway, and steps from the DART rail, our monthly art installation is not something you want to miss.
The Eisemann Center’s Forrest and Virginia Green Mezzanine Gallery will host the A Place of Peace: Using Art as A Window to the Soul from Sept.1-Sept. 26.
The exhibition is coordinated by Teresa Nicosia Mayo, an artist and art educator at The University of Texas at Dallas Callier Center for Communication Disorders. Mayo teaches art to young adults on the autism spectrum by using art as an alternative and therapeutic means of expression.

“Already their reaction is so excited and so happy — and so honored to be part of this exhibition,” Mayo said in the video. “So, I’m sure when they see all of their magnificent works of art on the wall, they are going to be ecstatic.”
Enjoy watching a recent interview with Teresa Mayo, about the upcoming exhibit.
This exhibition features works of art from participants in the Young Adult Social Communication Group at the Callier Center, as well as Hugs Cafe in McKinney, and emphasizes the use of creativity as a tool to increase self-awareness and communication in those on the autism spectrum.
