Abstract
The paper focuses on educational art practices involving adults with disabilities. The introduction elaborates on two issues-the critical views of visual stereotypes and the negative representation of persons with disabilities in the media, and the arts as a means to give visibility to the hidden voices of people with disabilities. The second part of the article opens with a brief overview of research having to do with the fields of art education and disability studies, followed by the description and discussion of findings during a project funded by the European Community "CIRCLE of COMPETENCES for COMMUNITY WORK with ADULTS", implemented by the Art Teacher Association APECV and taking place in Portugal throughout 2018-2019. The APECV research team works both in formal and non-formal education contexts and develops participatory art education projects with other associations working with adults with intellectual disabilities.
