Spotlight On: Disability Pride

To mark the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, the most significant Civil Rights legislation establishing the right for people with disabilities to participate fully in civic life, Lincoln Center continues to celebrate disability culture by centering Deaf+ and disabled artists and audiences. Our approach to accessibility mirrors our commitment to transform performing arts spaces to be more inclusive of our audiences’ identities and access needs by design, not as an afterthought or add-on. This season at Summer for the City, dozens of performances offer captioning, audio description, and ASL interpretation. We are also partnering with Convo, allowing guests at Lincoln Center to instantly connect with a live ASL interpreter on their personal devices—no app needed.

The summer programming below complements year-round initiatives to engage audiences with disabilities, including Lincoln Center Moments and Passport to the Arts.
