In-Definite Arts Society (IDAS) is a creative arts centre in Calgary that champions emerging artists with developmental disabilities to achieve their creative potentials, enabling them to develop and express themselves in a supportive environment. In 2012, over 150 artists with disabilities participated in a workshop with Calgary based mixed media artist, Adele Woolsey, where they explored new painting techniques in our studios using Venetian plaster. The outcome of this collaborative experience was a stunning array of artworks that combine individual talent with a sense of collective camaraderie and creative exploration. Impressions is an integrated exhibition that bridges the transitional space between “emerging artists” and “established artist”, and “mainstream” and “disabled”, allowing visitors to look beyond preconceived notions of disability to celebrate the creative spirit of each artist.
