Join us for a special closing celebration in partnership with Art Spark Texas that brings back a multi-sensory art experience we haven’t seen at AccessU for 15 years. During Sight Sound Soul, musicians with disabilities perform on stage alongside artists painting in real time. Energetic ASL interpretation, human captioning, and live audio description are provided.
