About the Arts Learning Community for Universal Access

A co-production of the City of Raleigh Arts Commission and the United Arts Council of Raleigh and Wake County, the Arts Learning Community for Universal Access was developed in 2015 to train arts and cultural administrators in arts and accessibility practices. This nationally recognized program uses an inclusive design perspective to help learning community members improve their organizations' engagement of people with disabilities in the arts.
