Steve Roth draws upon his background in economics to create narrative art exploring game theory, how we make decisions, and his experiences navigating disability in the world. His solo exhibition in the Open Door Gallery, titled The Marie Principle, examines language and familiar motifs to consider how disability and society coexist.


The Open Door Gallery is a gallery space for artists with disabilities, created in partnership with Open Door Arts, a program of Seven Hills Foundation. The gallery is located in the Higgins Education Wing and admission is always free.
