VSA Arts sponsors international "What is disability?" postcard project

From the VSA Arts Web site about the project:


Collaborative art project - What is Disability?

What’s the Art Project?
Join people from around the world and send in a postcard documenting your interpretation of disability. All languages accepted. Tear off the postcard and create a visual representation of your experiences, impressions, and perceptions. We’re taking a creative approach to investigate how many different ways people will interpret the same word. The deadline for receipt of postcards is February 5, 2010.

Who Should Participate?
You! We’re looking for people of different cultures, ethnicities, geographic locations, and abilities. This is for anyone. You do no have to consider yourself an “artist” to participate.

What’s the cost?
The cost of a stamp! We’ll be creating an exhibition–both online and in Washington, D.C.–to represent your submissions as part of the 2010 International VSA arts festival.
