Join us for a half-day conference celebrating accessibility, creativity, and inclusion in the arts. Through engaging presentations and conversations, explore how artists, educators, and arts organizations are creating more equitable opportunities for people with disabilities.

Featured sessions include Arts For ME!, sharing innovative approaches to adapted visual arts education; New Works, highlighting the development of original theatrical works by Omaha-area artists with disabilities; and a keynote by Makenzie Gomez, a Mexican-American, queer, dynamically disabled performer whose work champions authentic disability representation and storytelling.

Whether you're an artist, educator, advocate, or arts enthusiast, you'll leave inspired with new ideas, connections, and practical tools for building more inclusive creative communities.
