About the Center of Excellence in Non-Visual Accessibility (CENA):

(excerpt from CENA’s website linked here)

Founded by the National Federation of the Blind in 2014, CENA works to:

• Share knowledge about web accessibility and access technology

• Promote best practices in government, education, and business

• Increase awareness of accessibility and tools available to blind users

Building on the expertise of blind people themselves, CENA seeks to create a more accessible world.

We look forward to exploring together and continuing to build the energy, excitement, and commitment for accessible arts in Baltimore.
