Cultural Passages
ACCELERATE and INTERSECTIONS
September 12 - October 6, 2011
Creative Arts Workshop is pleased to present its fourth biennial Cultural Passages exhibition. For this year's exhibition, CAW is collaborating with Young Audiences Arts for Learning, an affiliate of VSA, to present work in all media by artists with disabilities.
CAW will host two exhibitions in the Hilles Gallery: Accelerate, a national show of emerging artists with disabilities juried by VSA; and Intersections, a show of work by CAW students who identify themselves as disabled.
Featuring twenty-three artists in total, this year's exhibition presents a vibrant collection of individual viewpoints that work collectively to give voice to how artists with disabilities think, what they do and the material products they produce.
