“Kickstart has smashed stereotypes of disability and challenged artists and audiences with authentic expressions.”
— Bonnie Sherr Klein / Order of Canada recipient, Filmmaker, Writer, Kickstart Co-Founder
Kickstart Disability Arts and Culture is continuing to celebrate its 21st year of supporting and promoting artists who identify as living with a disability with a new exhibition called “Nothing Without Us”. This exhibition will feature 14 artists that identify as living with a disability.
“Nothing Without Us” is a term that has been around for years in the disability community and the sentiment has always been clear. Decisions for people with disabilities should be made by people who have disabilities.
This exhibition is an opportunity to see new artworks by 14 artists that identify as living with a disability. These works reveal the everyday lives, fantasies, dreams, and the abstract thoughts by these Artists which have been created as paintings, drawings, photographs, and mixed media.
