shall we go together? A Symposium on Care, Equity, and Access in the Arts

Event Info

How can arts organizations continue to support disabled artists? How can we continue building models that center care, equity, and access in residency programs and in institutions more broadly? Join us for a day-long, hybrid symposium at BRIC reflecting upon these questions and activating the themes and artists of our current exhibition, to hold a we.
 
The symposium will feature virtual and in-person offerings, including an artist and curator tour, roundtable discussion, participatory workshops, and closing party. Schedule and participants announced soon!
 
In-person offerings are mask-required. Masks will be provided. All programs include CART. ASL interpretation upon request.

The Ballroom and Project Room are on the main level and are wheelchair accessible. The event will have a sensory-friendly, low-stim room.
