Ways to Get Involved
The National Arts and Disability Center (NADC) is the nation's centralized resource on the inclusion of audiences and artists with disabilities in all facets of the arts community. It does so by providing information, training, and technical assistance with a strong focus on accessibility and careers in the arts for people with disabilities.
There are several different ways in which artists and arts organizations can promote themselves and receive information through the NADC:
- Subscribe to NADC mail list. The NADC list serv is a place to learn about and post calls for art, events and funding opportunities.
- Join Rising Artists with Disabilities. This group allows young artists to network with other artists and other artists with disabilities, inform you on news, updates, events, and activities, and most important to increase communication within this community.
- Share your work in the NADC’s Online Gallery. The NADC online gallery highlights the work of artists with disabilities around the world. Work for the gallery is accepted from all art forms including visual, literary, music, and digital media.
