SOUTHINGTON — Three years ago, Carole Milano’s older sister, Kathleen Sena, died at 68. Milano often finds herself reminiscing about their younger days, which she was in charge of taking care of Sena after school.

To honor her sister’s memory, Milano has become the driving force behind an exhibition for artists with disabilities.

Artists from Southington and other towns will have their work displayed on Aug. 9 in a gallery at Paris in Plantsville. Judges will look over the work and cash prizes will be given for first, second, and third place.

The Southington Arts Council will be accepting work from 1 to 6 p.m. Aug. 9 at Paris in Plantsville Gallery on 15 W. Main St. Winners will be announced on Aug. 10. The first-place work gets $300, second place $200 and third place $100.
