In 2022 kindness and joy led the way for our team of co-creators to manifest an all inclusive multi-arts event for community. Special appreciation for an outstanding team of women co-creators; Emily J Guerrero, Mexica-Arts, Rebecca Stockert, Cat People Press and Sophia's Portico! #AmazingWomen
The September kick-off event was held at the Fort Wayne, downtown, Allen County Main Library. The emphasis on ALL was to invite/support creatives, Hispanics, artists, multi-generations and physically challenged to showcase our abilities while celebrating Hispanic Heritage and the iconic Frida Kahlo, a Latina physically challenged artist.
Accessibility to the arts for blind, hearing impaired and physically challenged family and friends strengthens community by increasing Joy and Kindness for ALL. We all grew as individuals, and as artists, becoming aware of how to present/share the arts to individuals of varied ages and physical challenges.
To be born with physical, emotional challenges or to have survived a life altering accident, illness, is a life of challenges. Finding a way through daily obstacles leads to creativity. Let us be intentionally inclusive, promote kindness and to be a light on the path for the many courageous amongst us. Speak up and Act up by advocating for ALL to have access to the joy and beauty of life and the arts.
