Please note that we acknowledge both identity first and person first framing of disability identity. When we use the phrase \u201cdisabled artists,\u201d we intend to align with the <\/em>Social Model of Disability<\/em><\/a> understanding that people are disabled by environmental and societal barriers.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
