About UNIQUE
UNIQUE is an Art and Literary Magazine that shares the artistic visions and voices of individuals with disabilities. UNIQUE represents the power of art to express, educate, and inspire. Art comes in many forms and the creative work published in UNIQUE includes poems, paintings, drawings, photographs, sculptures, computer-based art, and mixed-media works.
The magazine is published annually in the fall by ARISE and distributed throughout Central New York to display the creative work of artists and writers with disabilities living in Central New York.
Goals of UNIQUE
UNIQUE has four main goals:
- To publish deserving artwork and literature in recognition of its intrinsic artistic and literary value;
- To share the artistic visions and voices of individuals who have disabilities with the public, increasing awareness of the capabilities of persons with disabilities;
- To initiate conversation around art and literature that inspires, educates, and enlightens; and
- To share the experiences of persons who live with disabilities, and their joy with accomplishing freedom, success, and independence.
