CORE 6: Defining Ourselves
Juried Art Exhibit & Performances by artists with disabilities

The 6th annual CORE exhibit is brought to you by Arts & Services for Disabled, Inc. and the National Arts and Disability Center of UCLA. In its 6th year, CORE continues to extend its reach to artists nationally and worldwide. The exhibit showcases artwork, literature, and performances by artists with disabilities with the purpose of providing a space for artists, community members, and arts and disability advocates to build common bonds and promote visibility through a diverse art forum.
CORE 6 will be held at the EdgeMar Center for the Arts in Santa Monica, CA. The EdgeMar building was designed by Santa Monica-based architect, Frank Gehry. It is a space for professional and classical theater productions, dance performances, visual arts, film, community public art programs, and educational outreach. CORE 6 will be held in their 65-seat performance theatre and lobby gallery space.
