Join us for part four of a five-part conversation series hosted by Derenda Lefevre of Open Your Eyes To Access (OYETA). These conversations will focus on centering disability stories, the history of disability in our communities, and provide opportunities for non-disabled people to learn about disability, ableism, and what it means to embrace accessibility and equity in our community spaces. Refreshments will be served and documentation for continuing ed hours are available upon request.
#4 Disability Justice: Our fourth conversation will explore our shared language, disability etiquette, the characteristics of an ableist culture and its antidotes, the future of accessibility, and celebrate disability culture.

In this class, students will be invited to get cozy, unwind, and be inspired for the Spring Season. Tea and cookies will be provided as we look at vintage embroidered tablecloths, pop cultural TV references like Bridgerton, and floral embroideries from Project Runway. Students will be invited to create their own floral design for their table runner or choose from templates and source imagery. Students will learn transfer techniques on how to take their design from paper to fabric. We will also talk about how to create unique color stories that will make for a cohesive design.

The Dueling Pianos concept can be summed up in a single word: FUN! Combine two sharp-witted, incredibly talented musicians with two pianos on stage, and add a roomful of people: The result is an evening of fast, funny, unforgettable interactive entertainment. The musical repertoire ranges from classic rock to country, hard rock to R&B, oldies and show tunes to the newest Top 40 hits. Best of all, the audience is the star of the show - sending up requests, singing along to favorites, bantering with performers, and having the time of their lives. Everyone leaves with a smile!
Doors open one hour before showtime. Cash bar service will be available.
