Tonight: Reading from Long Live the Disabled Artist, Long Live the Disabled Artist(s)

Zoom Reading of Long Live...

I'm hosting an online reading of a new essay, Long Live the Disabled Artist, Long Live the Disabled Artist(s) today at 7pm central time. Tickets (including some very near free access-based priced options) are on sale now.

If you (or someone you know) finds the ticket price a barrier please email me (alison@alisonbergblomjohnson.com) and I'll add them to the list.

You can read Long Live the Disabled Artist... at Mn Artists. It touches on friendship, grief, tokenism, and how we will do what we can for as long as we can. I'm extremely proud of some of the attention it's gotten on social media, particularly mention from the the access office at The Kennedy Center, VSA.

Artist Career Consultations

If you're looking to talk to an experienced artist about the business side of your arts practice please check into booking time with me or one of my colleagues on the Artist Career Consultation Roster at Springboard for the Arts. Consults are free for Minnesota artists, and we do meet with those from elsewhere on occasion. Most consults are remote, either on Zoom or by phone.

Springboard for the Arts Panel on Care

With other disabled artists (Esther Callahan, Christi Furnas, and Alejandra (Tobar Alatriz)) I'll be facilitating a panel called With Us: Artists with Disabilities on Caring for Ourselves and Our Community on February 27th. The name With Us comes from Nothing about us without us.

Thanks for reading along, and do be in touch.

Warmly,

Alison
