About DisArt
Embracing Disability Culture Through Art + Advocacy
Welcome to DisArt, an arts-centered nonprofit dedicated to cultivating and celebrating Disability Culture through creation, conversation, and consultation.
We work to reshape perceptions and practices by embracing the rich tapestry of disability history, community, and identity beyond medical diagnoses and legal compliance.
DisArt champions a “both/and” philosophy, accepting multiple truths and identities to disrupt systems that hinder belonging, dignity, care, and growth. Through art and activism, we unite those who challenge barriers and promote love as the ultimate form of access.
At DisArt, we are guided by the core values of Belonging, Care, Dignity, and Continuous Becoming, shaping a more equitable future while intentionally creating space where everyone is valued and everyone contributes.

Care
Dignity
Continuous Becoming
Cultivating Community + Continuous Becoming in the Art Community
DisArt collaborates with artists, activists, audiences, and administrators to bridge our guiding philosophy with practices that foster continuous becoming. This is fueled by a commitment to collective responsibility, cultivating intimacy and love where all are valued.
By focusing on collaboration, community, and process over product, DisArt supports contributing artists on an ever-evolving journey of philosophy and practice. Join us on this transformative journey as we work to create a world where everyone belongs and thrives.
