Day two of the new school year brings quieter morning traffic, though there is plenty happening just down the highway before noon.
The Lead
Today from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Rainbow Omega hosts its inaugural juried art exhibition, "Creating Without Limits," celebrating the creative accomplishments of adults with developmental disabilities. Held at the organization's Eastaboga campus, the showcase features 62 original pieces created by 26 local artists during monthly studio sessions throughout the past year. Supported by the Community Foundation of Northeast Alabama, the event aims to highlight artistic talent while expanding access to creative programs across the county. Visitors can tour the campus, meet the participating artists, and attend a formal awards ceremony beginning at 2:00 PM. Admission is free to the public, giving neighbors a direct opportunity to support local creators and view the gallery firsthand.
