Although disability arts as a sector has only recently been acknowledged and supported in Canada\, disability arts as a practice by disabled artists has always existed in one form or another. \nWhile today\, we recognize that art galleries and museums are mandated to serve the ‘general public’\, however\, many disabled people are barred from fully experiencing what galleries have to offer. Not only can spaces exclude through physical barriers\, many galleries and museums are not accessible in their programming\, exhibitions and collections. \nThis workshop provides an introduction to disability arts\, tracing the gaps in galleries; accessibility and inclusion in their programs. This workshop will also address the gaps of accessibility online. Institutions need strategies to not only make their online and physical spaces more accessible but must actively resist the compulsory able-bodiedness of the “visual” arts as a whole. \nPRESENTERS: \nSean Lee\, Director of Programming – Tangled Arts + Disability\nDavid Bobier\, Media artist and founder of VibraFusionLab\nEliza Chandler\, PhD\, Assistant Professor\, School of Disability Studies\, Ryerson University\nYasmeen Nematt Alla\, Communications Manager\, Akimbo Art Promotions\nEmily Cook\, Education / Accessibility Programs Director\, Critical Distance Centre for Curators \nSessions will include: \n\ndiscussion on disability arts and justice;\ncase studies discussing web and digital access with a focus on social media and alt text;\ncase studies on practices in gallery spaces;\nvisual descriptions and how to describe it or communicate it;\nand panel discussion on current practices and the future of accessibility in the gallery sector.\n\nTO REGISTER FOR WORKSHOP #1 – COLLECTIONS AND ACCESSIBILITY: \nComplete registration form then email form to –  Jessica Lukas\, Secretariat Coordinator\, members@oaag.org\, with the subject line – ATTN: MAP – Workshop Series \n CLICK HERE FOR REGISTRATION FORM \nInterested in the upcoming workshops in March? Fill out the Expression of Interest Form to receive a notification of the next three workshops registration openings. \nREGISTRATION FEES:\nSingle Day Workshop Cost\nGOG Members: $150.00\nGeneral/Non-Members: $250.00\nStudents (with valid student ID): $45.00 \nRegistration includes access to the presentations and discussions\, supplementary materials\, and any additional activities. \nVENUE LOCATION: \nThese workshops will all be held virtually via Zoom –  A Zoom link will be sent once registration payment has been processed. \nACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:\nGOG gratefully acknowledges the funding contribution from the Museums Assistance Program with the Department of Canadian Heritage.
