In his campus office, documentary filmmaker James Hollenbaugh, last fall’s artist-in-residence at Franklin & Marshall College, discusses his artists with disability project that exhibits in March.

\n\n

“They’re all untrained artists; we call them ‘outsider artists,’\" he said. \"They’re doing some incredible work and have great stories—about overcoming a lot of disabilities through creating art. It’s an inspiring story, but also showcases their work.”

\n\n

Hollenbaugh, a filmmaker based in south central Pennsylvania, the region where he grew up, produced \"A Life Like This.\" The film features four people from the Lancaster area, three who have mental disabilities and one who has a physical disability.

The artist-in-residence program, designed to connect the College with the local community, is funded through F&M’s Center for the Sustained Engagement with Lancaster, which itself is supported by a grant from the Endeavor Foundation.
