    About the webinar:
    Join Artwork Archive and expert presenter Heather Pressman, co-founder of Achieving Access, for an inspiring and practical webinar on making arts institutions more welcoming and inclusive for visitors with disabilities. Nearly 27% of Americans live with a disability, yet many arts organizations struggle to create accessible experiences for this significant audience. Accessibility isn't just about compliance-it's about fostering inclusion and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to engage with cultural and artistic spaces. Heather Pressman, an educator and accessibility advocate, will share her expertise on simple, actionable steps that arts institutions can take-many of which require little to no budget-to begin building a more inclusive environment. These strategies will help you get started right away, making your organization more welcoming and accessible to all. Heather's extensive experience includes co-founding Achieving Access, co-authoring The Art of Access: A Practical Guide for Museum Accessibility, and teaching accessibility at Johns Hopkins University. With her guidance, you'll come away with a number of practical ways to create a more inclusive space for visitors with disabilities. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and take meaningful steps toward greater accessibility. Together, we can ensure the arts are for everyone. Can't make the webinar? Register and we'll send you the recording!
