Aaron Wilcox served as guest curator for the Spacemakers: Art and Disability in North Carolina, for the Cameron Art Museum. Meghan Lewis, a double major in Studio Art and Art History served as an intern in the development stages of the planning. The text from the CAM—Space Makers is part of the rich tapestry of work by artists with disabilities in North Carolina. There are limitless ways that disability impacts how we navigate the world, and the works created by these artists reflect that variety in abundance. In the exhibition, artists with disabilities claim their voices and command space through visual, experiential, and often experimental artwork. The work in this exhibition offers glimpses into the world of each artist and engages the viewer in conversation about what it means to navigate a landscape of access and ability. The exhibition is currently on display and runs through October 12, 2025
