Invitation to Cripping Art : Virtual Market

A vibrant, dreamlike event poster features an illustrated portrait of Alice Wong in a galaxy-inspired style by @ogrefairy. Alice appears to float in deep purple outer space while seated in her power chair, wearing a red sweater and blue comfy pants. She has her 2021-era face mask with attached tubing. Constellation-like sparkles surround her along with whimsical floating ice cream cones in soft pastel colors.

Across the top, a wide teal paint-stroke banner displays the text: “FREEDOM THROUGH CREATIVITY / CRIPPING ART / VIRTUAL MARKET.” Beneath it, script lettering reads, “In honor of Alice Wong.” To the right of Alice, another brushstroke highlights a quote from Year of the Tiger: “If we love fiercely, our ancestors live among and speak to us through these incandescent filaments glowing from the warmth of memories.” At the bottom, a final bright brushstroke holds event details: “MEET THE ARTISTS / LIVE EVENT / 6–8 PM EST / 5–7 PM CST / 3–5 PM PST / DECEMBER 6, 2025.”
