The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is seeking input on what artists and other cultural workers with disabilities need to create, learn, and perform in a safe, healthy, and productive environment through access accommodations, adjusted work schedules, adaptive equipment, accessible spaces, and other types of accommodations. Join us on Monday, September 30 from 3:30 – 5:00pm Eastern for this conversation and share your thoughts and ideas on the barriers, best practices, and ideal working environments for artists to do their best work.

ASL and live captions will be provided.
