The Disability Collective
The Disability Collective (TDC) is the only fully disability-led multidisciplinary arts organization in Toronto. Dedicated to celebrating and showcasing work created solely by disabled artists, TDC strives to de-stigmatize disability and challenge perceptions of disability by providing disabled artists with paid opportunities to share their work.

8 - The Disability Arts Festival 2025 Primer
Well it was bound to happen. The Disability Collective's annual Artisan Market went and grew so big it blossomed into The Disability Arts Festival!
To help folks get their crocheted ducks in row, Christine Malec and JJ Hunt pulled together this audio primer packed with festival info. Join them as they describe the visuals of the festival venue, Wychwood Barns, break down the accessibility offerings available in advance and on the day, and chat with the Collective's Artistic Director & Founder Emily Maxwell.
And stay tuned! Our descriptive vendor guide will be dropping in the coming days!
