NEA AccessAbility Program Announcement, FY 2009

This program announcement outlines three separate National Endowment for the Arts projects. These projects, listed below, provide career opportunities or arts programming for individuals with disabilities, older adults, or those in healthcare settings:

• Statewide Forums on Careers in the Arts for Individuals with Disabilities
• Access to Design Professions
• Arts in Healthcare Consultancy Program

The Arts Endowment plans to award one grant for each project. Each grant may be renewed for up to four years, subject to agency priorities, the availability of funds, and grantee performance.

These projects are managed by the Arts Endowment's AccessAbility Office, which works with a wide range of public and private partners.

For more information on the background of each project, visit the Accessibility section of the Arts Endowment's Web site.
