Art Gallery
Abilities Arts Festival has mounted a series of international, juried visual arts exhibitions
that celebrate a diversity of perspectives and unique insights by visual artists with
disabilities. Through an array of watercolours, oils, pastels, acrylics, mixed media and
photography, the creative spirit of visual artists with disabilities has come to life.
From October 25 – November 11, 2007, the Joseph D Carrier Gallery was host to Connections 3:
"Exposed" – An international juried photgraphic exhibition which contained works by over 50
artists with disabilities from across Canada, the United States and around the globe. Juried by Stephen
Bulger, well known gallery owner, curator and photographer – Flavio Belli, curator, artist and arts
commentator – and Syd Streicher photographer and lecturer – "Exposed" featured an array of black
& white, color and experimental photographic images to delight the eye and challenge the mind.
To view the selected works by these artists, please click on

their works presented, we have a slide show that allows you to select between automatic or
manual image cycling.

Featured Artist:
Xang Ho
In my mind art is an act of revelation, an act of revealing a secret. My works are about exposing
that part of myself that is so hard to talk about otherwise. Only through my photography am I able
to let my viewer see the struggles within myself. Some have said art can be a tool for self-healing:
for me art is a tool to find the wound.
