Art/Access Lab:
How to Sustain your Practice & Present New Work
Navigating space, funding, collaborations, and more as an artist with disabilities
Moderated by Terri Lynne Hudson and Tsehaye Hebert
*Hybrid Event* Attend in person or via Zoom
Doors at 1:30pm
Event starts at 2:00pm
Event ends at 4:00pm
Join UDF and HCL for a dynamic conversation exploring the many elements that must come together when creating and presenting new work, from finding funding, rehearsal space and a presenting site to promotion, outreach, and production support.
This session will feature a panel of individuals with direct experience developing and presenting work as an artist with a disability or in collaboration with artists with disabilities. A panel of artists, funders, curators/producers, and arts organization staff will share their advice, insight, and cautionary tales about navigating collaboration and sustaining a creative practice across time. As with all Art/Access Lab events, there will be time to connect with fellow attendees, ask questions, and interact with panelists and moderators.

Art/Access Labs are centered around artists with a lived experience of disability including Deaf, disabled, sick, neurodivergent, and Mad artists, and those working through their relationship to these categories, working in all mediums, with anyone who is invested in fostering a vibrant creative ecosystem inclusive of artists with disabilities.
