October is National Arts and Humanities Awareness Month and National Disability Awareness Month!
In recognition of these two significant events, the National Arts and Disability Center (NADC) would like to encourage you to visit our Call for Entries and our Calendar of Events. If you or your organization is aware of any events that are accessible or involve artists with disabilities feel free to send the information to bstoffmacher@mednet.ucla.edu. We will be happy to post the information online and disseminate to our members for FREE!
Ways to get involved:
- Rising Artists with Disabilities (RAD) has a new site on Facebook for emerging artists between the ages of 15-25 http://www.facebook.com
- The Art and Disability Network (ADN) Listserv for California artists at lists.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/artsanddisability

The NADC Website (http://nadc.ucla.edu ) contains the equivalent of over 600 pages of information. Topic areas include: careers in the arts for people with disabilities; accessible programs for museums, mixed-ability dance, inclusive theatre companies, accessible products and services, and many other topics. We provide prompt technical assistance via our online "Help Desk." The site contains links to other national and internationally known arts and disability web sites along with a web tour of individual artists with disabilities. We also present an online gallery that features the work of artists with disabilities.
