"Opulent Mobility," curated by founder A. Laura Brody and Anthony Tusler, tells stories that humanize, uplift, and celebrate disabled artists and disability art.
Brand Library & Art Center is proud to present Opulent Mobility: Re-Imagine Disability and Mobility, curated by founder A. Laura Brody and Anthony Tusler in collaboration with students from Glendale Unified School District (GUSD). Founded in 2015, Opulent Mobility has been hosting annual open calls for artworks which tell stories that humanize, uplift, and celebrate disabled artists and disability art. The events have built a community of artists and activists who place disability issues at the forefront of their endeavors. Opulent Mobility will feature artworks by Amabelle Aguiluz, Anahid Boghosian, A. Laura Brody, Vanessa Hernández Cruz, Diana Elizabeth Jordan, Patricia Fortlage, Kellie Gillespie, Francesca Hummler, Aragna Ker, Monica Marks, Larissa Nickel, Rebecca Niederlander, Tom and Linda Peters, Jaklin Romine, Katherine Sherwood, and Rachel Ungerer as well as Glendale Unified School District (GUSD) student artists representing Anderson W. Clark High School, Crescenta Valley High School, Daily High School and Glendale High School.
Opulent Mobility is partnering with seniors at GUSD to present works addressing the themes present in the exhibit. This format will allow students at GUSD to exhibit alongside professional working artists in the gallery. This offers a unique chance for the students to share their work professionally, begin to build a portfolio for college applications, and learn from established artists.
The exhibition is on view April 26 – June 1, 2025. For more information, visit: BrandLibrary.org/Gallery
