The Minnesota Access Alliance (MNAA) provides this Accessible Arts & Culture Calendar for patrons who use accessibility accommodations such as Audio Description, Captioning, ASL interpreting and sensory-friendly accommodations. Details of these accessible events in Minnesota are online at https://calendar.mnaccess.org. Be sure to check the listing or the venue to find out its COVID-19 protocol (required masks, vaccinations, etc.) and if you need to make an advance reservation for the accessibility service.
If you know of accessible events at other venues that aren’t listed, please suggest that they submit their events to the MNAA Calendar as well as to MNPlaylist.com.
And if you know someone who may like to receive this monthly email with links to details online, have them email mactfactor@icloud.com and/or info@mnaccess.org and indicate which list they want: the entire list or just those with ASL Interpreting, Captioning, Audio Description, Sensory Friendly accommodations or disability-related topics or artists.
