Thank You For Supporting Knowbility During SxSW 2010
SxSW Interactive 2010 has come and gone and with its passing remain lasting memories. Knowbility would like to thank everyone who came and supported not only our Accessibility Panel on Sunday, March 14, but also each and every one of you who made it a point to attend panels on accessibility, and those of you who came by our booth. We would also like to thank everyone who attended our AIR/Dewey Winburne Awards Ceremony at Scholz Garten on Monday, March 15.
Congratulations to our AIR Interactive Winners!
- First Place: Team Water Gang for Outreach Productions
- Second Place: Team Unchain My Art for Diverse Arts Culture Works - End Cultural Heritage District (also the recipient of the People's Choice Award)
- Third Place: Team Insane in the Membrane for Lisa Laratta
And a huge thank you to all the teams and non-profits who participated. Everyone is a winner when we promote accessibility for all.
Please take a moment to visit the other wonderful sites created this year:

Last- but most certainly not least- we'd like to thank Haley and the rest of the wonderful staff at Scholz Garten for your continued hospitality.
Thanks again everyone!
Why AIR is important
Many opportunities to learn about and even participate in arts activities are online: patrons schedule attendance, purchase tickets, view videos, listen to audio clips of performances, get historical information about exhibitors and continue relationships after a particular performance or exhibit has ended. These experiences should be open to everyone, but most of the Internet (estimates range from 75-90%) is not accessible to children and adults with disabilities. You can help us change the Web for the better by participating in this fun, friendly Web design competition.
AIR-Interactive is brought to you by the generous contributions of our sponsors:
This project is funded and supported in part by the City of Austin through the Cultural Arts Division, by a grant from the Texas Commission on the Arts, and an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art.
A final thanks to all of our AIR Advisory members for everything they do for Knowbility. Your contributions help to make these programs successful!
