International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD) occurs every year on the 3rd of December. IDPwD is a United Nations observed day which aims to promote community awareness, understanding and acceptance of people with disability.
Federation Council is celebrating the day by hosting a group exhibition which will be on display at Corowa Art Space, featuring work by several artists from the Art Factory.
Facilitated by the Riverina Community College in Wagga Wagga, the Art Factory is a unique contemporary arts studio that has established itself as a leading regional ‘supported studio’.
The supported studio model found across the world, offers a creative, social and safe space which supports professional artists with disability. The Art Factory has for eight years provided pathways to artistic development for disabled and neuro-diverse artists. Currently, nearly 50 Artists from Wagga and surrounds, and as far afield as Leeton, Temora and Tumut, come to the Art Factory at least once a week to make art, grow their art practices and to connect.
The forthcoming exhibition titled ‘Selected Works’ presents recent paintings, prints, and mixed media works that showcase the breadth and depth of talent of artists in the program. New and established artists alike share their unique interpretations of the visual world.
Featured artists include Annabeth Haszara, Annelise Triulcio, Annie Heir, Brae Tye, Danielle Steele, Elle McKay, Isabella Mullins, Leeanna Wheeler, Lilly Salmon, Lorraine O’Hara, Maz, Raine Mitter, Rochelle Hapgood, Shayne Moylan, Sherry Ann Gill, Tanya Crawshaw, David Nicholls, Tara Fredericks and newest member Casper Buchanan.
‘Selected Works’ will be available to view at Corowa Art Space from Friday 22nd November and closes on Sunday 12th January. The gallery is open Wednesday to Friday from 10am until 4pm and on Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 2pm.
