Project Description:

Housed in the Department of Disability and Human Development, Bodies of Work (BOW) is a consortium of more than 50 of Chicagos most recognized cultural, academic, healthcare and social service organizations. The consortium advances the disability arts and culture movement, which illuminates and celebrates the diversity of the disability experience. Beyond the creation of disability arts and culture festivals, Bodies of Work provides a forum for ongoing programs that honor and explore the accomplishments of local, national and international artists. It offers information to cultural venues about providing access and accommodations for both artists and audiences with disabilities.
