Institution/Business Type: Community Service Organization

We believe that the arts have the power to change lives and create a better world. But around the world, too many people have limited access to the arts especially people with disabilities.

Since 2008, our mission has sought to bring people of all backgrounds –with and without disabilities - together to strengthen community and embrace diversity and differences.

 

We work with museums, dance companies, universities, and cultural centers to remove barriers to the arts for people of all abilities and promote their enjoyment. We also empower people with disabilities to become artists, dancers, and teachers.
