Join Raleigh Arts and the Raleigh Arts Commission for Universal Access & the Arts Day. An annual event pre-pandemic, Raleigh Arts is pleased to restart this one-day training after a seven-year hiatus. Inspired by The Kennedy Center’s national Leadership Exchange in Arts and Disability Conference (LEAD®), which Raleigh Arts hosted in 2022, Universal Access & the Arts Day highlights trends and best practices in the arts for engaging Deaf and disability communities.
Nationally recognized accessibility leader and Director of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts’ Office of Accessibility and VSA, Betty Siegel, will deliver the morning keynote address and present in the afternoon as well. Universal Access & the Arts Day also represents an opportunity to hear from local organizations doing strong work in the field such as Arts Access, Artspace, Marbles Kids Museum and the North Carolina Museum of Art. A networking lunch will be provided for all full-day attendees as well.
