Twenty years ago, the Oscar Award-winning film, “King Gimp,” leapt Towson University alumnus Dan Keplinger (BS'98 & '03/ MFA ’00), an artist with Cerebral Palsy, into the spotlight. In recognition of the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, TU, in partnership with Towson Town Center, mount an exhibition of his work. Keplinger uses head gear to make his art in various mediums. He does not use voice technology to speak, but by the subject of his daily life and the objects of his daily existence, Keplinger uses his art to send a powerful message.
Due to Covid-19, the exhibition has been reimagined into a series of storefronts, safe and accesssible for viewing. No longer in the area? Visit TUGalleries.com for an audi-described version of the exhibition.
Help support public COFAC arts events like these with a gift today.
Public/Private Conversations is supported by the College of Fine ARts and Communications, College of Health Professions, the Harold J. Kaplan Fund, BTU-Partnerships for a Greater Baltimore, TU Office of Inclusion and Institutional Equity, TU Accessibility and Disability Services and Weiss Markets.
