Visually impaired Utah students push for accessibility in the arts


By removing barriers to access, the Accessible Arts Academy empowers visually impaired students to engage with the arts. The three-week program at the Utah Schools for the Deaf and Blind brings together schools and community youth art organizations to give visually impaired students a chance to explore their interests and connect with members of the arts community. In addition to mentorship from visually impaired artists, students learn to work with specialized hardware and software, imparting confidence and inspiring future musicians and engineers alike.
