About The Accessibility Hub
A few years back, the idea of "accessibility as wholeness" was introduced to us. This is a mindset where you are creating a space where people with disabilities exist in the space from the beginning and come and go without accommodation. You begin in a place of inclusivity.
The Accessibility Hub was created as a tool to help those in the performing arts sector embrace "accessibility as wholeness" and work to integrate access measures into every level of the creative process.
You will find a tool to search access measures, the Glossary from the Accessibility Project Report to help build a shared vocabulary, and a compilation of recommended resources in one place, so you don't have to go looking for them.
Use the Hub to help you find tools and recommendations to make your arts performance or organization more accessible, whatever your timeline or budget!
Support And Sustainability
The initial creation of this website was made possible by a grant from Canada Council for the Arts.
Ongoing expenses include website domain renewal, labour for content updates, and maintenance. These expenses are anticipated to be between $2000 - $3000 per year.
Arts groups and organizations are invited to contribute $100 annually towards the Accessibility Project, in the form of a Community Sponsorship. Funds collected go towards all of the Project's activities, including keeping the website up-to-date and operational. Send us a note if you're interested in contributing.
Donations from individuals or companies are gratefully accepted and welcome at any time.
* Donations are made through Eastern Front Theatre and go into a designated Accessibility Project fund. Funds will only be used for Accessibility Project activities.
