The Wyoming Arts Council, in partnership with The Wyoming Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities, will host a free webinar on Wed. Aug. 26, 2020, 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. (MDT) titled “Art and Accessibility for All: Resources to Help Ensure Accessibility of Your Virtual Events.”
Since the start of the COVID-19 crisis, artists and arts and culture organizations have been proactive in reaching out to their audiences and communities through webinars, live streamed performances, virtual classes, and virtual visual art exhibitions and museum tours.
As the arts transition to using virtual platforms, this can mean either greater inclusion or greater exclusion for people with disabilities. Cultural organizations can ensure that these invaluable resources are fully accessible to people with disabilities, including those with vision, hearing, and learning disabilities.
This webinar will provide:

The Wyoming Arts Council believes that experiencing the arts should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to the arts due to geographic isolation, cultural difference and economic hardship.
