Lightshed Photography Studio | Event Photographer: North Shore, MA – Northeast Arc Gala @ The Peabody Essex Museum

We spent the night with Northeast Arc at the Peabody Essex Museum last week and got some gorgeous shots of their 60th Anniversary Gala. From the ARC’s website: “The Northeast Arc helps people with disabilities become full participants in the community; choosing for themselves how to live, learn, work, socialize and play. Northeast Arc was founded in 1954 by parents of children with developmental disabilities who wanted to raise their sons and daughters as full members of the community. By having the courage to challenge professionals who told them their children could not be educated and would not live to become adults, these parents created the systems that enabled them to attend public schools, develop friendships, reside in the neighborhoods of their choice and to earn a paycheck.”
