This $3,000 award celebrates the work of nine disabled Midwestern visual artists each year, supporting accessibility in the arts, recognizing their efforts, and encouraging future work. We acknowledge both identity-first and person-first framing of disability identity. When using "disabled artists," we align with the Social Model of Disability, understanding that people are disabled by environmental and societal barriers.
