We'll be celebrating disabled women artists, including Lois Curtis, also known as "L.C." as in Olmstead v. L.C. On June 22, 1999, the United States Supreme Court held in Olmstead v. L.C. that unjustified segregation of persons with disabilities constitutes discrimination in violation of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The Court held that public entities must provide community-based services to persons with disabilities. The two plaintiffs in this case were both disabled women; one of the women, Lois Curtis, is an artist herself, and we will honor her contributions to disability rights and to art by screening the documentary The Art of Being L.C.! We'll also celebrate other disabled women artists and the incredible impacts they make on the world through their art and advocacy! Women artists with disabilities will be displaying their art as part of this unique event.Sponsored in part by the Toledo Museum of Art, The Disability EmpowHer Network, and the Ohio Olmstead Task Force. Public programs are sponsored in part by Zac & Dee Isaac.
This event is free and preregistration is encouraged.
