About the Exhibit
The Nina De Angelo Artists Without Limits Exhibit is a collaboration between the Anne Arundel County Department of Aging and Disabilities, the Anne Arundel County Commission on Disability Issues (CODI), and the Arts Council of Anne Arundel County. The program was launched in 2012 to provide a forum to showcase the work and talent of local artists with disabilities in a highly visible and respected way.
The exhibit was renamed in 2024 to honor the legacy of advocate and artist Nina De Angelo, a four-time exhibit participant who combined art and advocacy to bring awareness to the challenges faced by people with invisible disabilities.
