The New Brunswick Disability Art Collective Lab is a participant-driven intensive through the JL Legacy Fund, connecting three emerging New Brunswick creatives with JL Legacy Fund 2025 Artist-in-Residence Ysabelle Vautour. Ysabelle will provide advice and networking opportunities for five months for three hours a month to help the selected mentees on their creative journey. The lab intensive includes three specialized workshops with creative experts and invitations to an artist talk and in-person social hosted by Ysabelle to strengthen the bonds within the community further. With this lab, the New Brunswick Disability Art Collective and JL Legacy Fund seek to identify and support emerging New Brunswick talent facing ongoing challenges.
Potential mentees should apply with specific challenges they are experiencing in trying to achieve their artistic goals.
Ysabelle’s dedication to inclusion and outreach to the creative disabled community is the cornerstone of her latest residency, making her work not just about art, but about making a real difference in people’s lives.
Ysabelle’s commitment to mentorship is unwavering. She is an ongoing mentor through the JL Legacy Fund’s 2024 provincial mentorship engagement program and has also shared her knowledge with other artists through the Fredericton Arts Alliance. Her most recent activity was as a panelist at the Arts Atlantic Symposium in Moncton, where she and other special guests discussed the importance of centering BIPOC voices in NB.
