Disabled people make up the largest, most expansive minoritized group, crossing lines of age, ethnicity, gender, race, sexual orientation and socioeconomic status.
For next year's disability pride month (July 2023), we’re excited to announce the open call exhibition Unfettered Recognition to celebrate how disabled folks are integral to all communities. We are looking for artists who express disability as an identity. The show will focus on disabled communities surrounding the Boulder and Colorado areas.
Please submit 2 to 5 images of recent work and a few sentences describing how your work and/or practice relates to themes of disability, physicality or intersectionality. Two-dimensional, 3-dimensional and digital work will be considered. Please note that space for 3-dimensional work is limited due to space constraints.
The deadline to submit work is November 30th and applicants will be notified by March 1st. SUBMISSION FORM
