Arts Access Chautauqua: Here I Am (25 years later)

Here I Am (25 years later)
Friday-Saturday, September 25-26
Presented by VSA Minnesota at the Cowles Center for Dance & Performing Arts
516 Hennepin Avenue in downtown Minneapolis
Learn from arts administrators, arts patrons and artists with disabilities how accessible the arts are today — 25 years after the ADA became law – and what we can all do to make performances, exhibits, organizations, venues and websites even more welcoming to a growing segment of our population.
Using the format of a Chautauqua (sha-tawk-wa), speakers, performers, visual artists and participants (arts staff, board member, administrator, grantwriter, volunteer, artist/person with a disability) will share ideas, questions and conversations that address ALL the issues, successes, challenges and possible solutions of making the arts accessible.
HIGHLIGHTS: (details at www.vsamn.org)
- Possibly the most Minnesota artists with disabilities in one place since 1992.
- 7 performing acts in Friday’s “Here I Am” 7:30 show;
- Speakers and performers at 3 general sessions each morning and to close the Chautauqua.
- 14 panel presentations;
- 7 networking groups (advocates, administrators, musicians, storytellers, theatre/dance artists, visual artists, writers);
- 4 New Technology breakouts (hearing loss, vision loss, mobility, computer/media);
- 45 artists’ work in a “Here I Am” art show and sale

Donation request: Lanesboro Arts Fundraiser
Monday, August 17th, 2015
Dear Artist friends and supporters
We are already crazy busy getting organized for our Nov.7 fundraiser “Swingsation”. It’s going to be a bit different this year with Tapas and roaming around and generally updated.
I am making my annual appeal to you all to ask you to donate a piece of your artwork for our amazing art auction. This auction raises enough money each year to keep our doors open through the winter and support our winter programs so we can continue to offer arts experiences through out the year.
Every year you all overwhelm me with your generosity and it is sincerely appreciated.The Artists are the number one supporters of this event. That says a lot. Once again, any artist donating a piece valued over $500 will receive one free ticket to the event. This will be non transferable because we love to have artists represented.
If you’d like to donate, we can take something from your inventory here in the gallery, or perhaps you have something special in mind you’d like to send to us.
There is an enormous amount of prep work for this event, so the sooner we receive your donation, the better. Again, I humbly thanks you and appreciate your donation.
It is my honor to serve you and with your help support the arts in a big way.
hope to hear from you soon
Robbie
