The exhibition—presented by the nonprofit Art Possible Ohio—is touring the state and features work done by artists with disabilities, according to a release from GCAC. It was previously on display in the spring at the Cincinnati Art Museum.

“As an artist with a disability myself, while also dealing with intersections of race, gender and education, I understand what it is like to feel underrepresented in certain spaces,” said Simone Robinson, director of programs for Art Possible Ohio, in the release. “And that is why we do the work that we do at Art Possible Ohio; we want art to be accessible for everyone, by everyone, no matter the visible or invisible disabilities and barriers that may stand in the way.”

There will be an opening reception from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the gallery at 182 E. Long St.

“The Loann Crane Gallery’s mission is to highlight the works of artists from historically marginalized communities, and efforts to create equitable and diverse spaces can often overlook the inclusion of disabilities,” said Khaila Carr, grants and community engagement coordinator for GCAC, in the release. “Art Possible Ohio excels in promoting inclusivity in all aspects, making Accessible Expressions Ohio perfectly fitting to have a presence in our gallery. I love the organization’s philosophy of art as a way to ‘bend, flex and grow.’”
