Join the Art-Reach Cultural Accessibility Conference

Theatre Philadelphia! Let’s make Philadelphia the most accessible city for arts engagement in the country!

September is such an energizing month as everyone begins their routine for the year and the seasons begin to change. If you are missing that back-to-school feeling, we invite everyone from accessibility novices to experts, to brush up on your accessibility practices by attending our Cultural Accessibility Conference, September 21-23, 2021 online! 



The Cultural Accessibility Conference is just one way Art-Reach works to build an accessible, equitable world.

Over three days online, attendees of the Cultural Accessibility Conference will build tools, knowledge, and an international network of allies and resources to increase accessibility and inclusion in arts and culture. Topics cover ticketing and best practices in theatre, how to sustain At-Home audiences with accessible practices, building proper policies, budgets, and strategies for inclusion across all theatre departments and much more.
