Accesible Art

Accesible Art

We would like everyone to enjoy and live art; therefore, it must be accessible. Under this premise, we created programs addressing a wide range of disciplines. We seek to create impact and bring down barriers from different artistic expressions. From an exhibition involving action and sculpture addressed to decision makers to a course on photography for blind persons.

A piece of art has the power to awaken our emotions and teach us about reality lived by persons with disabilities.

Accessible Art aims at sensitizing leaders and decision makers so that disability and accessibility are included in public and social agendas.
