25/40 Celebration
Exhibit: Photography–Acts of Pride
July 16 - August 2, 2015
Nations Gallery
The disability rights movement was founded through the actions and hard work of thousands of advocates. Long before the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, advocates took to the streets and to the steps of the Supreme Court, as experienced and documented by photographer Tom Olin.  In a second exhibit, work by photographers Christopher Voelker, Loren Worthington, Larry Roffee and Mary Lou Mobley bring disability pride to our attention.
The Exhibit is free and open to the public during open hours of the Kennedy Center.

24/40 Celebration
Two monumental milestones.  One awesome celebration.
25 years ago, the Americans with Disabilities Act extended civil rights to millions of Americans. 40 years ago, the Kennedy Center’s VSA opened its doors to provide arts and education opportunities for all people with disabilities. These are indeed powerful reasons to celebrate. And so we shall!
This is the 25/40 Celebration. Join us in DC this July—the Kennedy Center and the Smithsonian are offering a one-of-a-kind, cross-campus celebration. We are filling our stages, theaters, and public spaces with outstanding, free events to honor a culture of creativity, expression, and American heritage.
