About
Founded in 2009, Tangled Art + Disability is Canada's first gallery dedicated solely to disability art, based in Toronto, Ontario. The organisation actively centres crip aesthetics, Deaf culture, and disability justice frameworks in all of its programming — positioning disability not as a deficit but as a source of distinct artistic perspective and cultural production.
What It Does
Tangled Art + Disability presents gallery exhibitions, artist residencies, and professional development opportunities for Deaf, Mad, and disability-identified artists. The gallery is free and open to the public, and artist opportunity programmes are free to apply. Programming spans visual art, performance, writing, and interdisciplinary practice.
Who It Helps
Tangled Art + Disability serves Deaf, Mad, and disability-identified artists and audiences in Toronto and across Canada. The organisation is particularly significant for artists whose disability or Mad identity is central to their creative practice and who seek a space that validates and amplifies that perspective.
