Judith Snow – Artist and Inclusion Activist

She is also a visual artist and Founding Director of Laser Eagles, an organization making creative activity available through personal assistance to artists with diverse ability, www.lasereagles.org.

An exhibition of 23 of Judith Snow's paintings is currently on at the Royal Ontario Museum until mid-January 2012. View work here. The focus of the exhibit, "Who's Drawing the Lines", is on the value of art facilitation and on her journey of discovering Inclusion.

Martha Eleen - Artist and TSA Faculty

Martha Eleen is an honours graduate of Emily Carr College of Art, Vancouver, Canada. Her artistic practice engages the ideas of cultural landscape, the construction of society, and the politics of space through painting. Her work has been exhibited in public galleries in Canada, the United States, Japan, and Mexico. Martha Eleen is represented by loop Gallery in Toronto. She teaches painting and drawing at the Toronto School of Art. Martha will be talking about her latest exhibition, I, Huck.

I, Huck maps the domestic space framing the artist's relationship with her son Gabe, who is vulnerable and requires constant support. This is an inside view of a dynamic person whose natural gifts of sharp wit, emanating love, and disarming honesty are often obscured by disability bias. The titles used in the work are quotes from Gabe. Fascinated by analog audio technology, Gabe listens to several recorded versions of Huckleberry Finn and likes to call himself 'Huck.' He thinks the "n" word is "neighbour".

First come, first serve seating.
