July is disability awareness month and I wanted to remember the artist Judith Scott for her ability to transmute the negative experiences in her life into bright and imaginitive creations. Scott was an internationally renowned American fiber sculptor born with Down Syndrome.
This month we are celebrating the art, joy, and creative contributions of the LGBTQ+ community represented in the art world. In the spirit of continuing education, compassion and allyship, I felt it would be great to take a look at some seminole literary works in the genre. These are only four, titles to get you started. However, there are many more; all of which highlight the work, craft and struggles of these talented individuals.
Please see the themes that we have selected for 2023–24. Download the PDF and submit your abstract on our contact page.
