Saturday, 9:30 - 10:45 am

This workshop introduces access practices as a method for creating and curating art and arts programs. We'll introduce some of the practices being developed by disabled artists that frame access as a creative resource that can and should be incorporated at the start of a process, rather than something added on at the end. Together, we’ll troubleshoot some common access concerns, reframing these as opportunities for skill building, collaboration, and more thoughtful access provision. Led by Maggie Bridger.
