Draft:Tangled Art + Disability

Tangled Art + Disability is an art gallery in Toronto, Ontario, which focuses on creating accessible art created by artists with disabilities.[1]

Tangled Art + Disability is part of a broader movement to make art exhibits accessible, rather than just making galleries more accessible.[2] Referred to as "cripping the arts," this movement pushes against narratives of ableism in society.[1] This is accomplished not only by inviting in artists with disabilities, but also by creating accessibility for audiences. [1] This includes having ASL interpreters, allowing service animals, and hanging art at lower levels.[3]

Past exhibitions have focused on topics related to d/Deaf, Black, and queer experiences, among others.[4][5]
