The world of mass-market design can be difficult to break into. Especially if you don't have a design degree and aren't in the industry.

But some talented local artists working with a Cincinnati nonprofit that serves people with developmental disabilities are getting that shot.

Eight artists who participate in Visionaries + Voices programs have their designs featured on Bounty-brand paper towels distributed to grocery stores across the country thanks to an innovative partnership between the two organizations.

The program provides more than just a brief bit of exposure for the artists.

Joining Cincinnati Edition to talk about how the initiative came about and what it means for the artists are Visionaries + Voices artists Leah Davis and Neil Dignan; V+V Creative Director Karen Boyhen; and Bounty Senior Designer Cathy Sonnett.

Listen to Cincinnati Edition live at noon M-F. Audio for this segment will be uploaded after 4 p.m. ET.
