The Alter Group Turns Dreams into Reality for Disabled Adults
On Thursday, October 24, employees and art enthusiasts gathered at The Alter Group, one of the country's leading commercial real estate firms, to view its latest in-office art exhibition by artist, Daniel Frownfelter. Daniel is an artist at The Arts of Life, a non-profit art studio committed to providing high quality, innovative services for adults with developmental disabilities.
For a number of years, The Alter Group has hosted unique works from The Arts of Life, as well as other local artists in its Skokie-based office space, proudly displaying the colorful pieces for all employees and patrons to see. Daniel’s collection of drawings and paintings is the first solo exhibition to be hosted in the space.
