The International Exhibition of Fine and Applied Arts by Deaf Artists occurred from July 21st to August 11th, 1934 at the Roerich Museum in New York City. The first of its kind held in the United States, it was held in collaboration with the Salon International des Artistes Silencieux and occurred at the same time as the National Association of the Deaf's 17th Triennial Convention. Exhibiting artists such as Cadwallader Washburn, John Louis Clarke, and the de Zubiaurre brothers, the exhibit aimed to educate the public about the achievements of deaf people.
