Advancing Inclusivity in Southeast Michigan
To help people of all abilities feel empowered to engage with cultural institutions, we have gathered a set of resources for arts patrons and organizations in Southeast Michigan.
One of CultureSource’s six key focus areas is Representational Justice. We believe that representation matters, and all members of our creative coalition deserve to not only see themselves represented in the community, but have equal and fair access to arts experiences. Our aim is that these resources will help arts organizations develop a practice of being thoughtful about accessibility, and work to achieve corrective and reflective representation.
