DIY Accessibility Plan  

October 10th, 2023 4-6 PM

After a year of the conference, classes, and discourse, Cohort participants meet with an accessibility consultant to understand what it takes to make a plan that means action. Art-Reach invites Scott Artley, a guest facilitator with years of experience working in arts and cultural inclusion. Scott will reflect on the “soft skills” that accessibility requires, then we’ll spend time “network-weaving” to identify your next steps––and the allies that can help you get there.
