“Foundations should seek opportunities to fund arts and culture efforts led by Black disabled people. Let’s take, for example, artist residencies. Funders can make the process inclusive by publicizing their residencies to Black artists and providing clear information about how to make requests for accommodations to ensure accessibility both during the application process and throughout the residency.” [more] ([link removed])
