International Day of People with Disability (IDPWD) is celebrated on 3 December each year. To help recognise this important day, Latrobe Regional Gallery will host an Art for All Exhibition from 6 December 2024 – 23 March 2025.
The Art for All Exhibition will highlight and celebrate the diverse talents of people with disability. An Exhibition opening will be held on Friday 6 December 2024 from 11.30am.
The Exhibition opening will include free activities and a community lunch. After the opening a free interactive workshop, The Soundscape Ensemble, will take place from 12.45pm - 2.15pm.
The Exhibition will showcase two-dimensional artworks, such as drawings, paintings, photography, screen prints, and sculptural objects like ceramics, glass or mixed media designs.
CEO of Latrobe City Council, Steven Piasente is encouraging people to head along to the Exhibition and check out some of the incredible art on display at Latrobe Regional Gallery.
“The Art for All Exhibition is a great opportunity for us all to celebrate those with a disability and give them a chance to showcase their artwork, which they may not otherwise be able to do,” said Mr Piasente.
“Council recognises the importance of celebrating art and culture as it enriches lives and communities and encourages social inclusion.”
An Auslan Interpreter will be present at the Exhibition opening and Soundscape Ensemble.
