ACCESSIBILITY

Workman Arts is committed to values of inclusivity and accessibility for all guests, staff, volunteers and artists. We are listening and learning from our community to help us address barriers and open up opportunities for anyone interested in engaging with Being Scene’s exhibitions and related events. Each event will have an active listener. We do our best to accommodate any interpretation, transportation assistance, navigation assistance, financial assistance or any other accessibility needs by request.

If you require any accessibility support in order to attend any of these events, please get in touch with Raine Laurent-Eugène at raine_laurenteugene@workmanarts.com or 416-583-4339, ext 9.

COVID-19 GUIDELINES AND PROTOCOLS 

Throughout the duration of the 2023 Being Scene exhibition and in-person events, Workman Arts will be requiring that those in attendance wear a mask, whilst maintaining physical distancing protocols to ensure the health and safety of all participants. Please note that if any of this changes, we will provide updates before scheduled events and open hours of the gallery.

ASL PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

We will provide ASL interpretation for all virtual Q&As, workshops and panels held over Zoom, as well as the in-person events. If you have any questions about ASL Interpretation for this year’s Being Scene events, please contact Raine at raine_laurenteugene@workmanarts.com.
