Wingecarribee Shire Council will launch the 'Creating and Thriving' exhibition and showcase the artwork and skills of local artists and makers with disability.
The council's Coordinator Community Development, Ms Cath Brennan, said the purpose of the exhibition was to raise awareness.
"International Day of People with Disability is all about raising awareness and understanding of disability and how we can all contribute to a more inclusive community," she said.
"It's also an opportunity to recognise the contribution that people with disability make to our community and celebrate their wonderful achievements."
Local artists and makers with disability across the shire were invited to submit their artwork for inclusion in the exhibition. The artists who have chosen to do so, will have their artworks for sale with all proceeds going directly to the artist.
"The quality of entries has been wonderful and showcases the range of artistic talent from people across the Highlands," said Ms Brennan.
"Congratulations and thank you to everyone who has supported this fabulous exhibition."
The official exhibition launch will take place between 2 and 3 pm on Friday 2 December 2022.
A panel of contribution artists and entertainment will be in theCivic Centre's Atrium Gallery.
Everyone is welcome to attend this free event. Register online for catering purposes at www.wsc.nsw.gov.au/events.
The art exhibition will be on display until January 13, 2023.
The Civic Centre is located at 68 Elizabeth Street in Moss Vale. Opening hours are 8.30 am to 4.30 pm, weekdays.
International Day of People with a Disability (IDPWD) is a United Nations observed day held on December 3 each year.
