Main Street Masterpieces Art Gallery featured a collection of work from people with autism and other developmental disabilities in the Adult Day Program at the Developmental Disabilities Institute on Thursday.

The show was the grand re-opening of the gallery, and featured sculptures, canvas paintings, photographs, handmade jewelry and more. Violinist Alfred Anderson of the Adult Day Program, whose standout song of the afternoon was “Moonlight Sonata” by Beethoven, performed throughout the event.

DDI provides services for children and adults with autism throughout Long Island, located at 99 Hollywood Drive in Smithtown.
