For the past 16 years, posAbilities has hosted the INCLUSION Art Show & Sale, BC's largest disability art show. The annual show celebrates the work of artists with diverse abilities and features hundreds of artworks in various mediums. In this episode, you'll hear from several artists about their work and their experience participating in the show.
