Does your organization produce music, theatre, dance, opera, circus, puppetry, drag, burlesque, poetry, or other performing arts in Edmonton? Is your organization an industry-specific service organization? If so, you are invited to join the Edmonton Performing Arts Accessibility Ad Hoc Group, a research project funded by the Edmonton Arts Council and Edmonton Community Foundation.

This group will benefit from a funded research project in which an Accessibility Consultation Facilitator will be hired to engage with Edmonton-based individuals and communities that experience accessibility issues in the performing arts and who will report back to the group with their findings, recommendations, and suggested action plan. The group will then work together and support each other in following through on this research in improving accessibility to Edmonton performing arts.

We invite other Edmonton-based performing arts producers and industry organizations to join the consortium as part of this research phase and future planning. If you would like to add your company to the producer/industry organization list, please email yegperformingarts@gmail.com.
