Accessibility in the Arts, Part 2: How
Date: Thursday – October, 25 2018 Time: 10:00am - 11:30am Room: 21c Museum and Hotel Gallery 2
Making programs, activities, and services accessible is somewhat subjective. This session is dedicated to artists, administrators, and program managers who may or may not know where to begin. Join us for this workshop-style session in which we review accommodation, look at practical examples from leaders in the arts access field, explore simple first steps in becoming more accessible, and discuss the keys to success in advocating for inclusion of your own work.

Take Your Show on the Road
Date: Thursday – October, 25 2018 Time: 1:00pm - 2:00pm Room: The Paramount on Film Row Theatre
As education budgets tighten across the state, arts related classes are often the first to be cut. This creative void within schools provides an opportunity for nonprofit arts organizations to step up and inspire with creative programming and outreach. Come hear from RACE Dance, Lyric Theatre, and deadCenter Film about how they create, fund, and manage education outreach programs that travel across the city and around the state.
