Abilities Arts Festival is proud to announce its Call for Photographic Entries for the 2007 International Juried Photographic Exhibition by artists with disabilities titled “Exposed”. This exciting exhibition will be an integral part of Abilities Arts Festival’s week long, international multidisciplinary arts celebration that includes the visual and performing arts, film, a children’s program and workshops and panels. It will be held in Toronto, Canada, October 25 – November 1, 2007. Abilities Arts Festival showcases artistic excellence and the talent, artistic vision, passion and creativity of artists with disabilities. Using the power of art both as a unifying and as a transforming media, the Festival seeks to engage people in the arts, while facilitating diversity, inclusiveness and participation by people with and without disabilities.

“EXPOSED” will present varying interpretations and representations of images depicted by photographic artists with disabilities. Images of joy, sorrow, triumph, contemplation, defiance, wonder and/or other interpretations of life’s dramas and complexities will be welcomed for consideration to this distinctive exhibition which will run from October 25 until November 25, 2007 at the Joseph D.

We are seeking photographs that exemplify excellence, innovation and creativity. Works that provoke and enlighten; that are innovative and daring.
