The ninecity tour kicked off in Baxley in September and ends in Tallulah Falls in July 2008. "Since its founding, Georgia Artists with Disabilities has helped hundreds of disabled artists attain the recognition and commercial opportunities they had not enjoyed previously," said Annette Ford, chairperson of Georgia Artists with Disabilities. "As a result, each of these individuals has been able to continue to develop his or her special means of artistic expression. Their work is more than a symbol of achievement for the members of the disabled community. It is a gift of beauty that is meant for all of us." Judging the exhibit entries were Stella Lange, an Atlanta artist who paints in watercolor and oil; Barbara Bailey, adjunct professor in art appreciation at Reinhardt College, Woodstock campus; and Pet Webster, former teacher of the arts in public schools in Pennsylvania who currently teaches watercolor painting to adults.
