"Call to Artists: 14th Annual Juried Art Exhibit at the Independent Arts Gallery of the Queens Independent Living Center in New York"
0000-00-00 until 0000-00-00
National Arts and Disability Center
Los Angeles, CA, USA United States of America

SPIRIT OF THE ADA: Celebrating Disability Culture in the New Millennium. Publicity will call attention to this exhibit as part of New York City's ADA 2000--a celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which includes receiving the national torch relay in NYC on August 6 and a grand finale on August 7 at the United Nations, passing the torch to the world community of people with disabilities. In keeping with the theme, submissions should in some way reflect disability culture and the experience of people with disabilities. Your interpretation of the theme can be broad. The works do not have to be representational and do not need to be limited to displaying people with visible disabilities. The works may be abstract, as well, and your vision can be interpreted on canvas, or in clay, acrylic, photographs or sculpture.

Please note: that Entries and Slides must be received by May 26, 2000. To obtain instructions and entry form by e-mail, send request to Christian Valle: ilstaff@qilc.org.
