Hunter Museum is hosting “(Re)invention,” an exhibition of art from 15 young artists across the United States who are living with disabilities. Ranging in age from 16 to 25, the artists explore what it means to have a disability, yet resist being defined by it. The works range from portraits, to animation, to soft sculpture. The exhibit will be on view at the Hunter through May 21.
“(Re)Invention” is the 15th exhibition presented by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts as part of the VSA Emerging Young Artists Program, a Jean Kennedy Smith Arts and Disability Program. The result of a longtime collaboration with Volkswagen Group of America, this national art competition and exhibition gives artists with disabilities the opportunity to display their work in venues across the nation.
