DiverseAbility 2022

Semiahmoo Arts Society proudly presents its first art show that features artists with disabilities who work in a variety of mediums.
DiverseAbility aims to give a platform to any art created by people who find themselves typically outside the mainstream art world, this includes but is not limited to people with mental and physical disabilities.
By giving marginalized people a performance platform to express their art, we aim to connect creativity in a diverse community. In alignment with Semiahmoo Arts’ vision that ‘Arts is for Everyone,’ we look forward to showcasing art from a diverse range of artists in an inclusive environment.
This virtual art show is in partnership with UNITI.
