Presented by the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art:

Honor the rich history of art, identity, and empowerment in the d/Deaf and hard of hearing communities.

Explore American Sign Language (ASL) through hands-on art activities and enjoy entertainment from distinctly Deaf perspectives. 
 
ASL and Live English interpretation will be provided for all performances and workshops. Additionally, various interpreters will be stationed around the Info Desk, Kirkwood Hall, and the Sculpture Hall. Once it’s available, refer to the festival schedule for specific info about the types of interpretation offered at each event.
