At the 2019 Indiana Arts Homecoming, Kris Johnson, Debbie Fetzer, Jennifer Harbaugh, and Scotty Zwicker presented “The Culture and Practice of Teaching the Arts to Deaf Students,” introducing concepts related to how Deaf people express and incorporate their cultural identity into their art and performances, as well as highlighting practical issues related to their unique educational and communication needs.

Arts and Accessibility for All
An ADA 30th Anniversary Celebration Webinar

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is turning 30 this month! But how exactly does the ADA benefit communities, and the Hoosiers that live in them, when it comes to the arts? And how are arts programs, big and small, creating inclusive, welcoming environments? Join us for a webinar with special guests who will give first-hand experience about accommodations they’re making to ensure more inclusive arts experiences for all.
Register.
