Help shape our summer cultural lineup

As we lock the June 15 community stage and a four-week July workshop series, whose voices and traditions are we missing? I’m aiming for a genuinely representative mix — multilingual sets, intergenerational leaders, disability-led ensembles — and we have five open slots with $500 micro-grants per group, so please share specific artists, access needs, and communities to uplift.

Book a Deaf-led ASL poetry set June 15; https://www.deafspotlight.org — interpreters and captions covered?

Building on @cnelson55, consider a disability-led sensory-friendly DJ set — think calm dance party, not strobe rave — with live audio description and a quiet room; Sins Invalid could advise or drop in for a July workshop on access riders and performance (https://www.sinsinvalid.org). If that’s too big for the $500, I can connect you with a small neurodivergent-led duo for June 15 with a pre-show touch tour — sound workable?
