Did you know it’s National AccessAbility Week?
We’re dedicated to reflecting, learning, and improving on ways to make public spaces more inclusive. Even before a public art initiative begins, accessibility is top-of-mind to identify social, physical, and/or cultural barriers that could prevent participation of an experience.
Remember, accessibility should be the standard (not the exception) ❤️
If you’re looking for resources, link in bio for the Accessible Art and Placemaking Research Project, a free toolkit we developed in consultation with d/Deaf and Disabled experts in the arts and urban planning sectors + public art pilot studies.
And if there are resources we should bookmark, we’d love to know!
