Opening Reception for "Proud 2 Be: Rights Are 4 Everyone"

Join us for a gallery reception celebrating the opening of this artist-led installation! 

Proud 2 Be highlights works by NIAD Artists who advocate for disability rights and social justice through their artistic practice and lived experience.

In the arts and disability landscape, these experiences are interconnected. Especially in time of uncertainty, we need to show up and offer support for each member of this community. We are stronger together!
