ArtsAbly's Bulletin
|
|
Dear followers, dear friends,
|
We are back and active since the beginning of May. We have been working on projects for future podcast episodes. On June 13, we will organize a special event for the 50th episode of the podcast: a special gathering with past guests to reconnect and discuss accessibility in arts today. It will also be a fundraiser. Check out the details below for more information. Please help us promote this event.

Save the date! Friday, June 13, 2025 between 6 and 7 pm: Special episode of "ArtsAbly in Conversation" No. 50 - Live conversation
|
|
This special podcast episode will be the 50th since ArtsAbly was launched in 2024. It will be a live online discussion with artists who have been guests of the podcast in the past. We will share tips, good practices, and examples of accessible venues. We organize this event so that you can be part of the journey. We believe that all artists interviewed by ArtsAbly should be paid (we usually give a honorarium), but we need your help to reach our goal and continue fund our episodes and promote more artists. Tickets for the event are free but we encourage donations. There are no small amounts. Any support will be appreciated.
|
Help us promote this event and share it with your friends. We will soon start our promotion campaign on social media. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky or LinkedIn to help us share the event.

Emerson Students Make Medieval Art Accessible to Those Without Sight
|
The concept for this exhibition in the Netherlands stems from the minds of Emerson students, who have devised different thoughtful and creative ways for audiences to experience medieval illuminated books without having to rely on vision. Each semester, as part of their art history course at Kasteel Well, students are invited to participate in a project that culminates in an actual exhibition.
