We connect a vibrant community working towards the full inclusion of people with disabilities in cultural endeavors.
关于我们
The Access/VSA International Network is an active global community that shares best practices in arts access, brainstorms solutions to common (and uncommon) issues, and blazes an accessible path to the world of arts and culture. The arts and culture accessibility movement has always been strong, led by passionate and innovative administrators, teachers, artmakers, and organizations. But for years those leaders lacked the connection to share challenges and successes and the opportunity to build and improve on each other’s work. There was no center of learning, no coordinated “arts access field,” no standard for access. The disability rights movement and advent of federal disability rights laws helped change that situation, propelling arts and disability supporters to connect and learn from each other. The Access/VSA International Network is built on the shoulders of those pioneers. We offer the opportunity to support and learn from each other through in-person convenings, online learning, and lively listservs. We cross-pollinate new ideas. We illuminate the work of artists with disabilities and exemplify arts access—and the need for it—to the larger world. We provide a space where small grassroots organizations can connect with large established institutions, and experienced experts can mentor people new to the field of arts access. We organize, drive, and bring credibility to that field by innovating, creating shared resources, exploring and establishing global practices. We harness our collective experience, knowledge, and passion for access to arts and culture to shape the arts access movement, and to move it forward from access to inclusion.

Extraordinary Cinema: World Premiere: American Masters’ Renegades Sunday, September 29 at 3:00pm ET Join us for a FREE film screening in the Justice Forum at the REACH, the world premiere of a new documentary series showcasing the lives of diverse American historical figures with disabilities. This event is Audio Described and Open Captioned. Renegades is a series of five 10-to-12-minute films designed for an intergenerational digital audience showcasing the lives of little-known historical figures with disabilities, exploring their contributions to U.S. society and unique elements of disability culture. Hosted by musician and disability rights advocate Lachi, and created and produced by a team composed of a majority of D/deaf and disabled filmmakers, the series is designed to increase public knowledge of disability history, encourage cross-cultural understanding between non-disabled people and those with disabilities, and also use these individuals’ lives as a point of reflection on broader social, cultural, and political issues. https://lnkd.in/eYc47MNH
