MNAA logo (capital blue letters)

Use this Minnesota Access Alliance Accessible Arts & Culture Calendar to find events that feature accessibility accommodations such as ASL Interpreting (ASL), Open Captioning (OC), Audio Description (AD), Sensory Friendly (SF) accommodations or Disability-related topics. Each listing links to ticketing and other details at https://calendar.mnaccess.org. 

You can request MNAA’s free monthly email summary of just the specific service you need (like ASL) or the entire list  by emailing mnaa.calendar@icloud.com.

To UNSUBSCRIBE, please reply to this email with UNSUBSCRIBE in the Subject line.

Other arts, disability or accessibility opportunities may be posted on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mnaccessalliance. If you don’t find an event, it’s because the organization didn’t submit it or it’s because there are no access accommodations.

(Times are Central Standard Time)

This calendar and website, as well as MNAA educational trainings, are made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
