It was a great beach day on Tuesday in Queens County.

And about 50 clients and staff from the Queens Association for Supported Living took full advantage of it to celebrate Disability Pride Month.

QASL asked Liverpool artist Jane Stevenson to help them create some sand art on Beach Meadows Beach to commemorate the month.

Stevenson has created memorable sand art installations before like her tribute to Olympic shot putter Sarah Mitton for the 2024 Paris games.

QCCR spoke to some people on the beach on Tuesday to find out what it was all about. Listen to it below.
