RACC ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT

The Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC) connects artists and creatives to opportunity and access. An independent non-profit organization, the Regional Arts & Culture Council supports greater Portland’s creative economy by equitably providing and advocating for funding and services to artists and art organizations; engaging with arts educators to ensure Arts Education for our school children; managing and growing our diverse, nationally acclaimed, public art program; and developing long-lasting public and private partnerships. 

Through our website, events, and social media channels, we want it to be easy for everyone to gather information, learn about and apply for funding, participate in networking and training opportunities, and conduct business. Whether using assistive technologies like a screen reader, magnifier, voice recognition software, or video captions, our goal at RACC is for you to find what you need with the fewest barriers, and to enjoy the experience. 

At RACC, we are noting opportunities for growth and learning. We continue to devote resources to further enhance the accessibility of our programs, services, website, and social media engagement.
