Art/Access Lab: Work in Progress Showing
@ Experimental Station
6100 S Blackstone Ave, Chicago, IL 60637
Opening Tuesday, August 6th, from 6PM - 8PM
Art/Access Labs foster a vibrant disabled artist ecosystem through cross-discipline and cross-impairment professional development activities.
Doors at 5:30pm
Featured Artists: To Be Announced
Work in Progress Showings provide artists in the disability community an affinity space to share and discuss developing projects. These gatherings offer a flexible platform for artists to share, test ideas, and develop perspective on their work through community exchange. Audiences are invited to witness and share back through moderated conversations that nurture a community rich in cultural, artistic, and intellectual discourse.
Each showing will feature one or more projects that are in-development. Following each presentation, the artist or artists will be able to ask questions of the audience, and vice versa, in order to support the continued development of the project.
Projects in any medium are welcome including time-based work such as movement, dance, song, spoken word, healing arts, video, etc. Any fine art should not require installation.
Anyone interested in presenting a project is encouraged to fill out the Art/Access Lab: Work In Progress Showing Interest Form.
Artists are selected on a rolling basis, with artists selected two months in advance of each Work in Progress Presentation.
Who Should Attend
Art/Access Labs are centered around artists with a lived experience of disability including Deaf, disabled, sick, neurodivergent, and Mad artists, and those working through their relationship to these categories, working in all mediums, with anyone who is invested in fostering a vibrant creative ecosystem inclusive of artists with disabilities.
