Cultural Accessibility Forum & Exchange (CAFE)
CAFE brings cultural organizations together with members of the disability and low-income communities to focus on improving cultural access for everyone.
This forum addresses issues of cultural accessibility in order to:
- Enhance accessible accommodations offered by the Greater Philadelphia cultural community
- Encourage arts providers within the sector to continue their efforts in making experiences accessible to patrons with disabilities
- Expand awareness of the need for such efforts
Let’s keep in touch!

Accessibility & Media Production
by PhillyCAM
Wednesday, June 10 | 3-4 PM
ZOOM Meeting
With unprecedented times, comes unprecedented shifts in operations. As a result, more of us than ever are incorporating audiovisual production to maximize the effectiveness of our messaging. As Philadelphia’s community media station, PhillyCAM always strives to do the same while making the tools and knowledge available for members of the community to follow suit.
In this virtual session, we will discuss options for how to create media content that is both higher in quality as well as accessibility. Participants will receive a broad overview of tips and resources that can be applied anywhere for production and post-production, including at home! There will be coverage of some low-cost solutions to successfully produce, edit, and caption your audio and video content.
