About Us
Our Mission
Think Outside the Vox closes the gap between Deaf/Disabled patrons, BIPOC/AAPI/marginalized/disabled access providers, and arts organizations, which are often inaccessible. We provide arts access consulting and training that centers on anti-ableist/anti-racist disability culture for arts institutions. By customizing access plans equitably and sustainably, we aim to implement measurable change within the sector. Vox focuses on widening the breadth and scope of accessible programming by facilitating the hiring of disabled and marginalized artists and experts.
Our Vision and Impact
Addressing Barriers
We aim to dismantle systemic and programmatic hurdles such as limited knowledge, apprehensions, budgetary constraints, and insular networks.
Creating System-wide Change
Our initiatives lead to broader impacts by:
- Boosting the proficiency and cultural competency of access providers.
- Enlightening and educating arts leaders.
- Delivering vital access services to existing and prospective audience members.
- Creating employment for marginalized (deaf/disabled/BIPOC/AAPI/LGBTQ+) workers.
Shaping the Arts Community
Our ambition is to foster growth and culture shift in arts organizations, their personnel, leaders, and the wider community to include more access points in the offerings and more marginalized experts on their teams.
Our Board of Directors
All board members and consultants identify as minorities, including affiliations with Deaf and/or disabled, BIPOC/AAPI, and LGBTQ+ communities, and possess substantial art access experience.
