In Time for Capitol Steps Show

Hannah Gonzalez and her family, from DeLand.

DAYTONA BEACH, FL (Jan. 28, 2010) – The first of several encores for the “Faces of Ability” photography exhibition, which opened earlier this month on the main campus of Daytona State College, begins today at the college’s News-Journal Center.

“Faces of Ability” features the everyday lives and triumphs of 13 young Easter Seals clients and their families as photographed by Daytona State College and University of Central Florida students. Easter Seals Volusia and Flagler Counties and the Daytona State College Foundation are the show’s presenters and will be mounting the exhibit at various locations throughout the two counties.

This stop at the News-Journal Center, 221 N. Beach St. in Daytona Beach, is just in time for the audience of tonight’s Capitol Steps performance at the facility. Other visitors can see the photographs for free during the center’s lobby hours throughout February.  Details of  “Faces of Ability” will be updated periodically at www.facesofability.org.
