ArtsKC’s Community Gallery Program supports local artists, arts organizations, and businesses by providing shared access to our Crossroads space to showcase work across disciplines. The program aims to amplify underrepresented voices and activate the gallery during high-visibility period. More information can be found at www.artskc.org.

________________________________________________

Celebrate the kick-off of Disability Pride Gallery Program! Check
out the art, mingle with featured artists, and enjoy musical
performances.

Nothing about us without us! In a world that often
misrepresents disability as solely tragic or portrays
disability as monolithic, this collective of disabled,
neurodivergent, and chronically-ill artists offers more
nuanced expressions of their complex lived
experiences. We seek to center authentic
representations of disability, provide visibility, and
stimulate conversations about accessibility and
community care. Disability Pride does not exist to
simply celebrate identity, but to insist that disabled
lives are worth living — to willfully inhabit in-between
spaces of grief and joy, pain and pleasure.

Gwen DeLaney, curators
