JC Fridays returns June 7 with an emphasis on work by and access for the disabled
Each June Art House presents ACCESS JC Fridays, which encourages participating venues to present work from artists with disabilities or works that celebrate those with disabilities. Venues are also encouraged to make their spaces accessible to all, with large print materials, ASL interpretation, captioning and sensory tours.
