Together! 2024 Open Exhibition

Welcome to the Together! 2024 Open Exhibition, taking place annually in July to celebrate Disability Pride Month. Curated by Alison Marchant and the Together! 2012 Team, our annual exhibition brings together work by amateur, community, student, semi-professional and professional Disabled artists of all ages. Anyone with a Newham or Together! 2012 CIC connection – for example, living, studying, working or volunteering in Newham now or in the past, or taking part in Together! 2012 activities – and who identifies as a Deaf or Disabled person* is able to submit one family-friendly work for guaranteed inclusion. *Including people with learning difficulties, long-term mental health difficulties, physical or sensory impairments and long-term health conditions, from all ages and cultural groups. Clicking on an image will display it at full size to enable you to ‘get up close’. On Thursday 18 July we celebrate the exhibition from 7-8pm on Zoom: email info@together2012.org.uk for the link. The event includes British Sign Language and live captions.
