Hi everyone! Happy Down syndrome awareness month
Due to Covid-19 we had to postpone our i EXTRA love you exhibition in March, I was hoping we could meet in person and celebrate in October but we are unable to.
This year is all about adapting! I am happy to share that the 2020 portraits will be shared during a virtual exhibition on October 24th at 11am. i EXTRA love you Virtual Exhibition will be hosted on Zoom this year and I hope everyone can join!
