“The Music Within: Our Worlds Matter” Exhibition
The Music Within: Our Worlds Matter” is an exhibition supporting neurodivergent artists or artists with disabilities, whether diagnosed or not, in celebration of Disability Pride month. The theme of this show is represented in a quote: “Most people go to their graves with their music still inside them.” This is an opportunity for artists to let their creativity out. We are breaking down walls, coming out of isolation into celebration, because our worlds matter.
The opening will have music provided by MC REY 3 – a rising hip-hop artist now residing in Mendocino County, known for his raw storytelling, gritty visuals, and versatile flow. Blending atmospheric production with sharp lyricism, he crafts music rooted in resilience, identity, and real-world experience. With a growing underground following and a unique urban aesthetic, MC REY 3 is carving out his own lane—unapologetic, authentic, and ready for the next level.
As always, there will be a community art project – an opportunity to make your own art at the opening.
The exhibition will run from July 3 to August 4, 2026, with an opening reception on Friday, July 3, during Ukiah’s First Friday Art Walk. Free and open to the public. Gallery hours: Tuesday through Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
