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.

Call for Community Consultants – Digital Projects
Deadline to submit: August 9, 2020
Tangled is conducting paid interviews with artists and audience members as part of an evaluation and exploration of our online presence, accessibility, and community. We, along with everyone else, are feeling the impacts of the shut down. Along with many other arts organizations we are working to shift our programming in response to the shifting habits (and experiences) of our artists and community members. We would like your input to assist us with this shift.

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.
