Throwback Tuesday: Music in the Village
|
|
|
The festival "Music in the Village" was held on August 9 and 10, 2025, at the Village at Black Creek. It consisted of music and dance performances by woman and gender diverse-led artists from around the world, along with Indigenous beading demonstrations, face-painting, and a traditional welcome by Indigenous elders and knowledge keepers. FabCollab invited ArtsAbly to ensure their festival was accessible. We created an access guide and were present the entire weekend to help visitors find their best accessible way to each performance place in the wooden houses of Black Creek.

FabCollab posted a video of their half hour Grand Finale allowing all performers who gave individual shows along the weekend to play music, sing and dance together. It was a real mix of cultures and styles with extraordinary artistry. Well done, FabCollab, and thank you for including us.

July Sawchuk's Workshop
|
|
When we assess cultural spaces we always talk about the importance of washrooms. When someone using a mobility device can enter the building but not access the washrooms, the venue is not accessible. This issue can be solved by working with good professionals who can advice you on improvements. Julie Sawchuk is an expert in accessible washrooms. We strongly recommend joining her webinar series, starting September 2nd, 2025. Information and registration link can be found below.
|
The webinar is almost sold out!

ToiletTuesday LIVE will be a one-hour “lunch and learn” style webinar hosted by Julie, the first Tuesday of the month starting September 2, 2025 at 12:00 pm EST. She will uncover a different topic each month. Dates: Sept 2, Oct 7th, Nov 4th, Dec 2nd, Feb 3rd, March 3rd. (Skip January).
