Increasing representation of diversity in illustration: #diversifymyart 2025. February theme is Sight and Sound. This month, focus on representation of people with vision or hearing differences: blindness, deafness, glasses, hearing aids, sign language, lazy eye, cochlear implant, braille, eye patch, mobility cane, or service dog.
For anyone who wants to consider adding #diversifymyart to the art you're making in February, the theme is "Sight and Sound", increasing representation of people with vision or hearing differences. #kidlitart
