Art Without Borders is an annual art festival in Reykjavik, Iceland. It showcases all art forms by disabled artists and supports collaborations between artists. The festival was founded in 2003 during the European Year of People with Disabilities. The festival has collaborated with different individuals, organizations and groups, collaborated with art museums, working artists, playgroups and musicians. The festival has initiated discourse on the image of disabled artists in the arts and the art of disabled people in collaboration with the University of Iceland, the National Museum, Reykjavik Art Museum and the Nordic House. Art Without Borders emphasizes that the art of disabled artists is valued equally within the arts scene as the art of non-disabled artists.
