Disability EmpowHer Network and the Toledo Museum of Art proud to host Disabled Women Make History (and Art), a workshop and art show celebrating disabled women on May 17, 2025!
We invite women* with disabilities to submit their art for consideration to be displayed as part of this unique event. We will select a total of 20 artists for the in-person event, with the possibility of additional artists being selected for a virtual component of the show. Artists selected will be invited to display their work at this event and receive admission to two exclusive workshops to enhance their skills in marketing themselves and their artwork.
At this time, the art show is primarily focused on a tri-state regional audience and resources to support artist travel is limited. Preference will be given to artists currently residing in Ohio, NE Indiana, and SE Michigan. Artists of all ages and skill levels are encouraged to apply.**
*Transgender women, cisgender women, assigned female at birth, and feminine-aligned people.
**One submission per artist, please.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: 11:59pm on March 17th
