The California Artists Directory contains information about the work of artists with disabilities in California. The purpose of the California Artists Directory is to provide an easy, practical reference to artists with disabilities and their work. This directory contains information about emerging and established visual and performing artists. We have included information about the artists' education, professional experience, awards, teaching experience, type of disability, and accommodation needs.

The intent of this directory is to promote the hiring of artists and performers with disabilities. The directory can be used to find information about artists with disabilities for artists' residencies, workshops and festivals; refer artists to do specific work; distribute information to local and statewide organizations.
