The National Arts and Disability Center Logo Contest

The National Arts and Disability Center (NADC) at UCLA would like to invite artists with disabilities to create a new logo for our center. The NADC requests proposals for designs that will give a new graphic identity to the NADC. The logo should reflect the mission of the NADC and incorporate the initials or name of our center.

The mission of the National Arts and Disability Center (NADC) is to promote the inclusion of audiences and artists with disabilities in all facets of the arts community.” The NADC is a university based organization that has two major focuses: careers in the arts for people with disabilities and making the arts accessible to people with disabilities. Our major activities include technical assistance, training, and information dissemination to artists with disabilities, arts organizations, museums, arts administrators, disability organizations and agencies, performing arts organizations, art centers, universities, arts educators, and students.
