Tangled Art + Disability and Disability Justice
#BlackLivesMatter
Disability justice must be rooted in the dismantling of white supremacy, anti-blackness and colonialism. Any less cannot be considered true justice. Tangled Art + Disability has donated funds and is sharing resources for our community.
Tangled Art + Disability Response to COVID-19
In light of recent local and global developments with regard to the COVID-19 pandemic, Tangled regrets to announce that we will be suspending gallery hours until further notice.
We do so with the intent to help mitigate the spread of the virus during this critical window of time. Our concern extends not only to our gallery visitors, but artists, curators, as well as Tangled team members.

Ontario Arts Council’s (OAC’s) Arts Response Initiative Webinar
September 29, 2020, 3:00 pm EST
At this webinar session, you will learn about the OAC’s new Arts Response Initiative which was recently launched to support artists, arts groups and organizations as they navigate the negative impacts on their artistic practices and operations due to COVID-19.
OAC introduced the Arts Response Initiative in recognition of the barriers and challenges artists and arts organizations have been experiencing since the emergence of the pandemic. It encourages exploration, adaptation, and the development of new ways of working that will increase the inclusiveness and resilience of Ontario’s arts sector, both now and in the future.
The session will take place via Zoom.
ASL interpretation and captioning will be provided.

UPCOMING EXHIBIT
THAUMATURGY
Through the art and science of ‘wonder-working’, Thaumaturgy generates an immersive and participatory call to action to fight for the future of our planet’s well being. Animated through the respective artforms of 4 Indigenous Disabled artists, the 4 Elements of Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water meet at a juncture to story ceremony and sacred space for feeling and healing. Tobacco, Sage, Cedar and Sweetgrass work to resist the formalities of a gallery, giving way to living tableaus that tie together the 4 elemental installations.
