The Disability Mural Project is an international evolving community artwork founded and curated by Frances Valesco and Center for Accessible Technology (CforAT) in Berkeley, CA. Arrowhead Alliance of Artists With Disabilities (AAAWD), in preparation for National Disability Employment Awareness Month 2011, collaborated with CforAT and Ed Roberts Campus to facilitate participation in the Disability Mural Project for those whose lives have intersected with disability in the Duluth, MN area.

The Goal of the Disability Mural
According to founder and curator, Frances Valesco, "The Disability Mural is a unique expression of disability, the first community artwork created by people with disabilities. Individual 12" square tiles are painted or collaged to express the artist's experience with disability. The artists are people living with disabilities as well as individuals who do not have a disability but who have experienced disability through family or friends.
The goal of the Mural is to express the range of experiences and emotions of people touched by disability. The Mural has been compared to the Names Project Quilt; however, where the Quilt is a community expression of loss and grief, the Mural is a celebration of the lives and contributions of people with disabilities."
