Perspective Art Exhibition
The Perspective Art Exhibition was an annual event at JFA Purple Orange from 2007 to 2016.
Each year both artists who lived with disability and artists who didn't were invited to reflect on a select theme.
The Perspective Exhibition was a celebration of personal expression through art and also a chance to connect over a glass of champagne and learn from each others perspectives.

Themes
The themes were carefully chosen to be relevant to the human experience in general, but they were always something that people with lived experience of disability would have a powerful and important perspective on.
Past themes included Human Rights, A Good Life, Personal Leadership, Change, Stories and Freedom.
Below are a few of the many thought-provoking paintings that have been shown at the Perspective Art Exhibition.
