LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan State University students have teamed up with a Lansing-based nonprofit offering job-training for people with disabilities or other challenges to tell stories through art.

The students from the East Lansing university are working with Peckham Inc. clients on Art(at)Work. The display at Peckham’s Lansing facility is expected to fill a large, long wall when it’s done.

Organizers say the goal is to create a “dynamic wall” that helps the artists collaborate on the visual stories — particularly the personal stories of Peckham’s clients.
