Elbow Room, a local arts organization providing material support, mentorship, and studio space to artists experiencing intellectual and developmental disabilities, has a longstanding relationship with PICA, and this exhibition curated by PICA's artistic director Kristan Kennedy is the latest exciting art event to blossom from the partnership. The circus and the beach, presented at ILY2, features works by Tess Bidelspach, Elmeater Morton, and Mohamed Omar, all of whom work at Elbow Room. Don't miss the April 6 opening for a musical performance by Omar at 2:30 pm, and if you (like me) are totally enamored by Elbow Room's artists, pop by its SE Madison location on April 7 for another exhibition: A Berry, A Boot, A Building, A Blue Door: New Works by Mike Young. by Lindsay Costello
