Join us for Disability Pride Month!
The first official Disability Pride Month was celebrated in New York City in July 2015, on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Disability Pride Month now celebrates so much more, such as the vital cultural contributions of people with disabilities and their embrace of this identity.
This artmaking workshop, led by workshop creators Annie Nishwani Lachhman and Lakshmee Lachhman Persad, explores and celebrates the intersection of disability and art. The initiative seeks to engage diverse audiences and highlight the contributions of artists with disabilities. It was created with disabled people and their families in mind.
