What Disability?!? An exhibition in celebration of International Day of Persons with Disabilities
to
Outsiders and Others Art Society 716 East Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6A 1R5
December 3rd is annually recognized as International Day of Persons with Disabilities by the United Nations. The theme for 2021 is “Leadership and participation of persons with disabilities toward an inclusive, accessible and sustainable post-COVID-19 world.”
Outsiders and Others will celebrate the occasion with an exciting, diverse exhibition of artworks by 16 artists who identify as living with a disability.
In response to a "call for artists" we received submissions from all across Canada and the UnitedStates, which is reflected in the exhibition. And because we received such a great number of applications, the exhibition will encompass both our main gallery at 716 East Hastings Street and in your window gallery at 938 Howe Street. We encourage you to visit both locations to experience the full exhibition.
What Disability?!? features 16 artists, some of whom are formally trained with an extensive exhibition history while others are self-taught and have never shown their work before . . .plus everything in between!
These artists are: Athena Cooper, Georgia Couver, Kelly Farrell, Yaho Fiwchuk, Doug Heal, Kimberly Laudert, Troy Lindstrom, Ellen Mansfield, Mike Levin, Aaron Miller, Sabrina Murdoch, Seema Shah, Margie Smeller, Emily Tironi, Yasabelle Vautour, and Bart Vulliamy.
