Often people with disabilities that live in agency settings or use service organizations have few opportunities to engage in the artistic process. “Arts Ability” is a pilot project where artists worked with people with disabilities in day programs, a live-in hospital, a Northern school and a community environment. This panel presentation of speakers from Manitoba will discuss challenges and the dramatic impact of offering opportunities for creative self-expression in the arts.
