The Calvin College Department of Art and Art History is proud to present Access is a Civil Right, featuring the photography of activist and photojournalist Tom Olin, who has been documenting the disability civil rights movement for nearly 40 years. Held in conjunction with the city-wide DisArt Festival from April 10-25, the exhibition will feature 30 photographs that document the countless marches and demonstrations leading up to the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, as well as others in support of curb cuts, access to public transportation and independent living for people with a disability.
These exhibitions are two of several Disability Arts exhibits, organized by DisArt Festival 2015. For more Disability Art activities and events, please visit http://disartfestival.org
