ALLways: Fall 2023 Session Announcement October 3 + November 9 • 1-4pm ET / 10am-1pm PT These access in the arts workshops are three hour participatory, online workshops rooted in Kinetic Light’s Access ALLways methodology and designed for arts organizations, producers, and event organizers. The ALLways method, grounded in KL’s holistic research and practice and led by Laurel Lawson, uses fundamental principles of equity and hospitality to help you learn how to create equitable access for your performances, events, audiences, and organization. The October 3 session, ALLways: Producing Accessible Online Events, is for arts workers with new to intermediate experience levels with disability or accessibility. Online programming and engagement has long been a critical location for disabled gathering and creation; now, online programming is here to stay for arts organizations who want to offer vibrant and accessible programming and fulfill their highest potential to reach their audience. Come learn how to deepen your online practices to sustain and create meaningful connections. The November 9 session, ALLways: Centering Disability in Strategy, Systems & Structures, is best suited for arts professionals with new to intermediate experience with disability or accessibility. While institutional interest in supporting disabled artists and access work has boomed – this well-intentioned support will be ineffective at supporting equity, justice, and field-wide change if we don’t examine the underlying assumptions and structures. Join us to learn how centering artistry and access can permeate and ripple through organizational structures and cultures. CART/ASL and verbal description included for each session. Stay tuned here for more information about each session. If you’re ready to register you + your team, click here for October or here for November registration.

Call for Applications: 5th Annual NCAC Curatorial Workshop
On curating difficult content: Reconciling an ethics of care with artistic freedomIn recent years, a renewed focus on “care” has emerged in curatorial practice, and consequently, within arts institutions. For curators and art institutions, an ethic of care implies their accountability to broader audiences and creators. It also, at times, complicates commitments to other values. What happens to the freedom to ask difficult questions, to examine contested subjects, to experiment—to make mistakes, even—when some critics claim that doing so is hurtful, causes offense, or contributes to trauma? Through speaker presentations and group discussions, NCAC's 5th Curatorial Workshop organized by the Arts & Culture Advocacy Program at the National Coalition Against Censorship in partnership with Creative Capital will propose strategies to address the specific challenges curators and institutions face when attempting to balance an ethics of care with artistic freedom in their programs. Apply to attend the workshop by October 15, 2023. Learn more about the application process here. APPLY HERE Baryshnikov Arts Residencies provides artists with space for creative investigation.
