EL PASO, TEXAS (KFOX14/CBS4) — The Hanger Clinic’s Amputee Life Support Group in El Paso hosted a unique art event this month, offering a painting class led by UTEP Art Professor Alix Gaytan.

Participants created an “Exquisite Corpse,” a surrealist art piece where each person adds to the artwork before passing it on.

The event, aimed at fostering peer-to-peer connection and community building among individuals with limb loss, provided a platform for the amputee community to unite and express themselves creatively ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.
