Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital Art Ability 2009/2010

Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital's Art Ability is an international, juried exhibition and sale of art and fine crafts featuring work by artists with physical, cognitive, hearing, and visual disabilities. The 2009-2010 Annual Art Ability Exhibit is on display from November 7, 2009 through January 17, 2010 at Bryn Mawr Rehab Hospital in Malvern, PA.

The exhibition is open to artists with physical, cognitive, visual, and hearing disabilities. Only work executed after the onset of disability or injury is eligible. All works must be for sale, and art previously exhibited in Art Ability is not eligible for submission. Reproduction prints will not be accepted. Artists must state their disability and provide a selling price that reflects framed artwork. All media are eligible, including works on paper, paintings, sculpture, jewelry, photography, pottery, fiber arts, and other fine crafts.

Submissions undergo an initial review by the Art Ability committee and exhibition curator. Artists accepted during this stage will be asked to send actual work for jury review by distinguished members of the greater Philadelphia arts community, who award prizes in several artistic categories. Work requiring shipping must not exceed maximum UPS shipping size of 130 inches (measured as length around all four sides plus one additional long side), artwork may not exceed 48 inches in height, and sculpture weighing more than 25 lbs will not be accepted. Accepted artists must ship artwork in reusable cartons or crates for return if unsold. Submissions require 1-6 images. Contact [email protected] for an image prep tip sheet.
