Artist Working Groups
Artist Working Groups, a funded collaborative creative research group, began in 2021 to elevate the creative voices of artists making work about the intersection of disability and other significant social topics such as the environment, gender, and racial justice. Artists participating in the working group engage with questions concerning how the selected theme impacts their lived experiences, as well as the role art plays in communicating these ideas across abilities and mediums.

Artist Working Group 2023: BROKE
The BROKE exhibition will feature work from four disabled artists working in Utah and explore disability through the lens of socioeconomic status (SES). How do social ideas about "worth" show up in how disabled people work, live, and play? How does socioeconomic status affect the day-to-day experiences of people with disabilities? What is necessary to create a world where social and economic agency and safety are an everyday part of disabled experience? The exhibit will be on display at Art Access (230 South 500 West, #110, SLC UT 84101) from October 6th through November 2nd at Art Access. Following the reception on October 6th from 6pm-8pm, you may visit the gallery Tuesday-Thursday from 9am to 2pm. This exhibition is free to the public.
*Masks are strongly encouraged.*
