VSA Emerging Young Artists: Interchange

Interchange asks artists to explore the connection of different ideas and pathways to each other. How does your art interact with your disability identity and the world? How are you initiating dialogue with others?

This national juried exhibition seeks artwork that demonstrates the excellence and important perspectives of artists with disabilities, ages 16-25, residing in the United States. Fifteen artists each receive a $5,000 award, attend professional development activities at the Kennedy Center, and have one of their submitted works featured in a national exhibition.

Volkswagen Group of America is the VSA Emerging Young Artists Program Presenting Sponsor.
