We are beyond thrilled to introduce a new initiative funded by the Government of Canada: Amplifying Deaf and Disabled Artists in the Performing Arts! 🎉

This project is all about bridging the gap between accessibility and opportunities for Deaf and Disabled artists in the performing arts. Here’s what we’re hoping to achieve:

🌟 Understanding the Landscape: We’ll assess the current environment in the performing arts sector and identify the challenges arts presenters face in creating opportunities for artists.

🎓 Enhancing Learning: Through tailored learning opportunities, we’ll empower arts organizations to design inclusive, accessible programming that represents Deaf and Disabled artists.

💰 Micro-Grants Program: We’ll launch a nationwide program to incentivize arts presenters to collaborate with and showcase the work of Deaf and Disabled artists across Canada.

We can’t wait to share more updates with you as it unfolds. Stay tuned for ways you can get involved! 💬
