The Non-verbal Co-Learning Engagement is a 6-week program designed to explore non-verbal (not spoken) communication approaches in contemporary art spaces. This program supports artists whose practices prioritize gesture, text, sign language, or silence as creative tools. Participants work collaboratively with grunt gallery staff to deepen their understanding of access challenges and possibilities for non-verbal contemporary art practices. 2 non-verbal artists will be selected to participate in the program that runs from February to mid-March 2026.
