The Neurodivergent Artist Collective is a new collaborative effort by neurodivergent artists in Vancouver to take space in a neurotypical world and works to dismantle invisible inequities in contemporary art spaces. Members of the collective self-identify as neurodivergent and have felt alienated from engaging in the arts due to barriers such as a lack of access. The collective aims to be a safe space for folks facing socio-economic barriers, from differing cultural backgrounds, and of all sexual orientations and gender identities.
Exhibtions:
Oct 2023 – 2023 Vancouver Outsider Arts Festival
November 2024 – Gallery George
The collective is hosted by Community Arts Council of Vancouver (CACV).
This project is funded by Disability Alliance BC.
