We truly believe that it is impossible to speak of audience development without accessibility.
Making culture spaces, programming and communication accessible to ALL AUDIENCES is part of our mission.
To be very clear about it: it doesn’t mean designing an offering which resonates with all people regardless of their sense of esthetics and taste. It means: not excluding anyone, especially because of one’s disability, age, level of education or any other reason.
Ensuring inclusivity by introducing various tools for accessibility is beneficial to ALL audiences (especially to non-goers, to new potential audiences) not “only” to audiences with various disabilities.
If you are interested in how it works, contact us! We will be happy to give you a short introduction to our A² concept and/or explore with you various tools for accessibility.
