The exhibition is open to all living artists, regardless of experience or formal training, who have a physical disability. All work for consideration must have been created after the onset of disability. There are no entry fees. Disabilities will not be taken into consideration during judging. We encourage emerging artists and experienced  artists alike to enter.
