Not Just Art(NJA) believes each of us bring a unique perspective on earth. For the blind, ears are their eyes; for the hearing impaired their eyes are their ears . This unusual lens makes persons with disability a specialised talent pool. NJA, as a pioneer, invests in and highlights this hitherto little known talent in photography. Their photos reflect a one-of-a-kind understanding of the world

NotJustArt is a venture of Youth4Jobs which has transformed young lives with disabilities with 21st century skills and sustained livelihood linkages at scale. Moving them out of the vicious cycle of poverty to the virtuous cycle of opportunity. Not Just Art is a part of this inspirational journey of changing attitudes of society towards disability by highlighting their abilities.

In just three years,the Global Ability Photography Challenge held every year has with partners like Unesco, grown into a movement in 18 countries. Through stunning photography exhibitions and workshops, the message to corporate boardrooms is not just to hire persons with disabilities but also proudly display disability art in their offices and homes. Everyone of us has a deep urge to do good. Investing in Revati Singhs’ curated photographs unfolds for each one of us an opportunity to break generational barriers and leave behind an inclusive world

The Global Ability Photography Challenge (GAPC) is a global platform for Persons with Disabilities (PwD’s) to showcase their artistic talent through the transformative power of photography. It’s not just a contest—it’s a movement that celebrates diversity, inclusion, and storytelling through the lens of a camera. By capturing moments, emotions, and perspectives, participants tell their unique stories, challenge stereotypes, and redefine what is possible.

Why It Matters?

Persons with Disabilities are often seen through the lens of their limitations. GAPC changes that narrative by using photography as a tool to highlight their creative excellence, resilience, and unique perspectives.

Photography is more than just pictures—it’s a universal language that transcends barriers.
Through photography, GAPC provides a platform for PwD to gain recognition, and even create livelihood opportunities.
It’s a powerful way to challenge societal biases, foster empathy, and inspire inclusion.

Impact Statement

More than just art – it’s a revolution that turns adversity into creative excellence.
It creates a platform where every image and every story redefines ability.

NOT JUST ART IS A STARTUP OF YOUTH4JOBS FOUNDATION.

Youth4Jobs Foundation is South Asias’ largest organization focussing on education and employment for persons with disabilities (PwD’s). This work is globally important as 80% of worlds’ disabled population lives in developing countries like India. Youth4Jobs has evolved to be a system changer and has partnered with governments, 1300+ companies, educational institutions, NGOs, youth with disabilities and their parents. It focuses on training the youth and placing them in jobs. Simultaneously, it supports companies with a range of services to ensure business benefits. Recently, Youth4Jobs launched a fully accessible job platform for youth with disabilities called SwarajAbility, in partnership with Office of the Principal Scientific Advisor (PSA), the Government of India, IIT Hyderabad, CII-IBDN, NIMHANS and Kotak Mahindra Bank. 21 disabilities recognised by the RPwD Act will be represented.

We believe youth with disabilities are a talent pool. To sensitise civil society, we hold an annual Global Ability Photography Challenge through NotJustArt global, a digital platform of Youth4Jobs, created to support visual artists with disabilities in India and promote their work to a global audience of art lovers, collectors, museums, and galleries.
