The California Arts Council has an ongoing and unwavering commitment to making its services and programs open and accessible to all persons, with and without disabilities. The agency reaches out and nurtures its relationship with the disability community through programs and services in partnerships with the National Arts and Disability Center and with the National Endowment for the Arts.

The Council's Arts & Accessibility Technical Assistance Program enhances opportunities for participation in the arts for people with disabilities by making available grants between $500 to $1000 for professional development and/or technical assistance. Funding supports efforts to make programs and services accessible to people with disabilities and is available each year until depleted.
