Access Notes

Art in the Open is taking steps to promote solidarity, equity, and access, and we also recognize that these measures cannot undo systemic oppression. We are committed to creating spaces that are free of disrespectful, violent, or oppressive behaviours, and all team members, artists, volunteers, sponsors, and members of the public at Art in the Open must play an active role in creating an environment that prioritizes collective care.

If you will be attending Art in the Open with a support person, wheelchair, service animal, or assistance device, feel free to contact us with any questions about navigating the no-contact festival.
