More Than One Way to Experience Art

 

Disabled art has always existed.

What has often been missing is sustained visibility, thoughtful coverage, and space for disabled artists to be taken seriously for their work. DisabledArt.com exists to help change that by focusing on creative practice, cultural contribution, and access as a creative force rather than a limitation.

This is not a charity platform or a novelty showcase. It is a place where disabled artists are documented, discussed, and celebrated as artists.

Our Featured Artist program highlights disabled artists through sustained, respectful editorial presentation. Each featured artist is given a dedicated artist page designed to serve as a long-term reference for their work, practice, and perspective.

Tactile Art Project

Tactile art expands how creative work can be experienced by translating visual information into physical form. Through texture, depth, material, and spatial relationships, tactile works invite engagement through touch as well as sight. These pieces are not substitutes for visual art, they are complete works in their own right, designed to be explored slowly and intentionally.

For blind and low vision audiences, tactile art offers direct access to creative work. For sighted audiences, it challenges long-held assumptions about how art is meant to be encountered. By widening the ways art can be experienced, tactile practices open new creative possibilities and remind us that access does not limit art, it expands it.
