    The Communities of Care project fosters and supports artists whose work contributes to conversations about disability, community, and care work. Painters, poets, performance artists, and others funded through the Communities of Care project have explored what it means to live with a disability or experience a mental health crisis, to receive a diagnosis, and to build caring networks that work toward personal and interpersonal fulfillment and social justice.
