Making the Arts Accessible to Audiences with Disabilities: Focus on Audio and Visual Assistance
For communities to sustain their cultural vibrancy, they cannot afford to ignore any portion of the resources available within the community. Too often, people with disabilities-especially people who are blind or have low vision-are not welcome in a community's cultural institutions simply because programs are not accessible in a meaningful way. Thus, these audiences are unrealized; moreover, people with physical disabilities are left culturally disadvantaged.
Some form of description (generally in theaters or in museums) is minimally available in about 30 states. Recent legislation mandates description for broadcast television and the Department of Justice actively seeks to ensure access in all public venues.

Dynamic Pricing is NOT the Story
Dynamic pricing, the tactic of raising prices after tickets go on sale, has often been in industry headlines these days. However, when it comes to growing revenue and increasing patron loyalty, it’s not the whole story. While it’s true that Vancouver's Arts Club Theatre Company (ACTC) generated six-figure revenue from dynamic pricing, the real news is how ACTC increased the number of its most loyal subscribers.
Read more about ACTC's success on TRG's blog, and register for the webinar to hear TRG consultants and ACTC staff retell ACTC’s $3 million client success story, including how:
•Loyalty strategies -- not pricing tactics -- led to sustaining revenue.
Exploring Maps: History, Fabrication, and Preservation
The great majority of maps were produced for practical use, not designed to last. Many are oversize and have been folded or rolled for storage over the years. Often maps were created using media that has not proven stable with time. In each case, the practicality of the map has worked against the likelihood of its long-term preservation and has presented conservation challenges. Maps that remain intact today are consequently even more valuable, not only for their aesthetic beauty but also for the rare insight they offer into the landscapes and world views of the past.
This program will provide an overview of the history of maps and address predominant issues in their care and preservation. Speakers will also explore creative, innovative approaches to reinterpreting and revitalizing historic maps through advances in preservation and technology.
The Academy of Certified Archivists will award five Accreditation Recertification Credits (ARCs) to eligible Certified Archivists (CAs) attending this program. For more information, go to: www.certifiedarchivists.org.
Major funding for this program was generously provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities, with additional support from the Philadelphia Council on the Arts, the Philadelphia Cultural Fund, and the Independence Foundation.
