Program Spotlight

As a response to COVID-19, Art-Reach has created a new program, ENCORE at Home, where digital content is created in partnership with arts organizations to build accessibility awareness, appreciation for, and engagement in arts and culture from the safety of your own homes.

Each video is verbally described by the featured arts partner, ASL interpreted by HandsUP Productions, and captioned, and are available on our website and across our social media platforms.

Enjoy “visiting” museums, learning exclusive stories about their collections, dancing, and following along to art-making activities in the safety of your own home by watching our 8 episode, fully accessible videos series! Click here to watch the ENCORE at Home videos. 

ENCORE at home is made possible by Virginia & Harvey Kimmel Family Education Fund & the Independence Public Media Foundation
