About

Accessible Expressions Ohio (AEO) is a state-wide, adjudicated exhibition featuring Ohio artists with disabilities. The AEO exhibition opening is a free public event, presented in partnership with the Cincinnati Art Museum, focused on elevating artists with disabilities in public spaces. Artists and their support people travel from all corners of the state to engage in the afternoon of fellowship and interactive arts experiences. This year, Melodic Connections, a Cincinnati-based ensemble of adult musicians with disabilities, will perform as part of the event schedule. Additionally, Visionaries and Voices, an art studio producing professional-grade art by artists with disabilities, will offer an art-making workshop led by studio members. ASL interpretation and live audio description will support the programs to make the arts engagement experiences more accessible for all. The exhibition is presented with braille text, an audio-described tour, and tactile objects.
