Disabled Artists Call for Art – UPDATED

January 13, 2023 at 11:19 pm

The Fortitude: Working Artists with Disability call for art has been extended through January 31st, 2023! Good news for artists that felt overwhelmed by holiday activities, or had difficulties submitting before the end of 2022. I am looking forward to other Path with Art artists joining me in submitting art for this art show. Slip Gallery in Seattle will be hosting the Fortitude art show in May 2023.

Fortitude will be part of the May 2023 Belltown Art Walk. During the Art Walk Artists will be able to sell paintings and prints directly to exhibit visitors. While the gallery will not handle sales, they will, throughout the month, direct interested buyers to the artist’s website or another contact.

Artists, living with a disability, are invited to submit up to five pieces of artwork. More information about art submission is available on Ivan Shearing’s Call for Art. Ivan will be curating this art show and is encouraging emerging artists to apply.


Slip Gallery is based on the belief that Art is For Everyone. With that in mind, shows are curated to tell the story of community through the vision of varied artists, rather than just focusing on solo artists. Recent past exhibits include:

  • Many Small Fires – group art exhibition of small works by 21 local women artists who offer us a glimpse into how they fuel their own personal fires.
  • DEAFHood – Reflections on identity and Deaf culture group art exhibit.
