Call for Art – In this Together: Joy & Interdependence in Disability Culture
Join us for our Third Annual Disability Pride Art Exhibition at DNWML.
This year’s exhibition celebrates the beauty of interdependence, the power of community, and the full spectrum of joy within disability culture. We are seeking artwork by disabled artists that reflects the richness of disabled lives – not as isolated stories of struggle or inspiration, but as nuanced and deeply connected, complex, and joyful experiences.
We welcome submissions across all mediums: including visual art, photography, sculpture, video, performance, sound art, mixed media, and more!
Submission deadline: June 8
Exhibition dates July 1 to Aug 15, 2025 during Disability Pride Month at the DNWML Washtenaw Office.
Check out the website (below) for more information and/or to submit a description of your art to consideration in the exhibition.
