Willing & Able is an art exhibition and community event series showcasing four Portland area artists creating compelling and diverse work within the field of Disability Arts, touching on themes of embodiment, capitalism, culture, and systemic and internalized ableism.
This exhibition and project, Co-curated by participating artists Marie Conner and Alexis Neumann, is devised to generate discourse exploring the disabled lived experience while critically engaging the local arts community, made possible with funding from PICA and the Precipice Fund grant.
