Current exhibition:

Beauty in Disability

For our students as well as other folks, some disabilities are more visible than others.

Sometimes disabled folks feel like they are invisible, or alternately, that they are visible in all the wrong ways.

By giving people creative control over their assistive aids, individuals and companies are providing opportunities for disabled people to influence how the rest of the world interacts with them.
