Tangled Art Gallery, Canada`s newest art gallery dedicated to showcasing disability art and advancing accessible curatorial practices, opens this May in the iconic arts building 401 Richmond, in Toronto. The first show, Constructed Identities, features new works from Canadian artist Persimmon Blackbridge, opening May 4th.

” This show thinks about identity afresh, artfully opening necessary conversations about how embodied markers, including disability, interlock with and are clarified by each other, giving new meaning to embodied difference".

For the past 15 years, Tangled Art + Disability has been cultivating disability arts across the country by developing artists, exhibiting disability art in Toronto, and touring disability art across Ontario.
