“The submissions from local artists have been outstanding yet again,” says David Hosking, Acting Executive Director of the VDRC. “It is apparent that art is a powerful way for individuals to connect with others and with their own truths while working through the challenges of their particular disabilities.  We are very thankful to have the support of the CRD Arts Development Fund as well as support by the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria to allow us to share this amazing art with our community for free.”

The goal of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities is to understand disability issues and mobilize support for the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities. It also seeks to increase awareness of the gains to be derived from the integration of persons with disabilities in every aspect of political, social, economic and cultural life.
