Abstract

In Uganda, Visual Art is done by Normal Artists without disability worldwide, in Uganda the development of Visual Art by persons with disability has not been a smooth stream. Disabled Artists have played a very big role in the development of Traditional, Modern and Contemporary Art. As development takes place, disabled artists have been excluded in the mainstream of documentation of visual art practice in Uganda and their work is not accepted like those of the predecessors who are normal yet it is at the same stake. Findings show that a big percentage of the Disabled Artists (up-coming) practicing Visual Arts are not adequately documented. The researcher therefore had to explore and produce paintings inspired by the upcoming unprivileged Disabled Artists so that they can be inspired with selfidentity that Disability is not Inability and aspire to inspire in the mainstream practice of Visual Art in Uganda and the world at large. Three research questions were posed, I investigated the questions through a vivid ethnographic account using both primary and secondary sources. Through questionnaire, field notes, one on one interviews and observations with people that mattered as far as this research was concerned. Secondary data was collected through literary sources, such as books, journals, research papers, newspapers and the internet.
