The NB Disability Art Collective (NBDAC)
Formed in 2021 by Ysabelle Vautour the NB Disability Art Collective is a group of New Brunswick artists with lived experience of disability (this of course includes Deaf, Mad, Chronically Ill and Nerodivergent folks ) interested in Disability Arts and advocating for accessibility to arts. The collective was created in order create a disability arts community in NB. It has an online showcase and provides a place for artists to find each other for networking, group shows and mentorship. Disabled artists from all disciplines are invited to join.
The collective is a central place to make connections and share resources like how to create an access rider and did you know you can hire a grant writer that artsnb can pay for when you apply for their grants?
"New Brunswick has the 2nd largest population of persons with disabilities in Canada, around 35.3% of the population of NB, compared to the national average of 27%." - Statistics Canada
"It is the largest minority group where any one of us can become a member of it at any time. Let's crip the scrip and share your story today and show people the fun and wisdom of disability culture."
