An art exhibit in New Canaan features works inspired by the events of 9/11.

The Voices Center for Resilience held the opening reception Wednesday for its 20th anniversary art exhibit at the Silvermine Arts Center.

It features artwork, quilts and other items in the nonprofit's collection created in response to and in the years after the attacks.

Voices provides long-term support and resources promoting mental health care and wellness for 9/11 victims' families, responders and survivors.

Its founding director says it's important for people to see the exhibit.

The exhibit runs through Oct. 9.
