Join “Disability Pride, Disability Joy, Exist,” an art-making program that celebrates disability as an integral part of human diversity. Led by Annie Nishwani Lachhman, a disabled artist, and Lakshmee Lachhman-Persad, an educator on disability inclusion and accessibility, the workshop invites participants of all ages and backgrounds to learn about the progressive Disability Pride flags, explore various aspects of disability, and create their own art, fostering inclusivity, understanding, and empowerment.

Art supplies will be available to support a wide range of access needs. The program is wheelchair accessible. ASL interpreters will be present, and visual descriptions will be shared throughout. We strive to make our programs inclusive and welcoming—please contact [email protected] with any accessibility-related questions or requests.

Disability Pride Month is celebrated every July to commemorate the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26, 1990. Happy 35 years to the ADA!

Free with Garden admission. Presented in partnership with Accessible Travel NYC.
