Join us for Sight. Sound. Soul. - An Accessible Performing Arts Gala

While sounds fill the air, an artist creates the music's story on canvas, on stage, in real time. Meanwhile American Sign Language linguistics experts translate the songs through a display of hand movements. All activities are simultaneously audio described and will be captured for the web to further make this an accessible event. Knowbility is a proud sponsor of Sight. Sound. Soul., and as such is providing free admission for all AccessU attendees! Join us on May 11, 2010 at Palm Door. LEARN MORE ABOUT SIGHT. SOUND. SOUL. >>
