While large organizations have access coordinators and disability services offices, smaller arts orgs can struggle to make sure they are serving their whole community. Our panel discussion with three experienced arts administrators can help your organization understand what you can do to make your programming, space and services accessible.
Panelists Eileen Bagnall, S.A. Corrin, and Molly Hull will discuss how small to medium arts organizations can effectively serve the entire community with simple physical and organizational changes to their space and programming. This discussion will go beyond adding a ramp to the side door to address small alterations that can make a big difference in how your organization provides accessibility services.
