We are artists first.”<br /><br />Questions that come up include when and why it’s appropriate for artists to disclose their mental health status while applying for art shows.<br /><br />The forum, on Thursday, Oct. 19, will address those issues, and include a conversation about various identity art, including all-women, gay or lesbian, or ethnic shows.<br /><br />“We’re not opposed to disability-themed shows. We’re just asking, why do we need that?” Rice said.<br /><br />Identity-themed shows can spotlight work that might be overlooked in the larger mainstream theme, but is there a point where labels are no longer needed?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34593972-6405510437898915079?l=peersartshow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Spectrum ArtWorkshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06285054711688897276noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34593972.post-1158552794935421492006-09-17T21:03:00.000-07:002006-09-17T21:13:14.936-07:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7173/3813/1600/postcard%201%2072.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right;
