Artwork created by students with and without disabilities from across the country will be featured in an exhibit in the nation’s capital this summer.

The display at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library in Washington will include works by 102 students — two from each state and the District of Columbia — selected from over 3,000 submissions.
