The OAC Artists with Disabilities Access Program and award amounts depend on a variety of factors, including application scores, the total number of applicants approved for funding, and the amount of funds available in the OAC’s budget.  My hearing loss has been a challenge particularly in a public-facing environment. It can be a barrier, but it should not stop one from engaging with like-minded folks. Thank you to the State of Ohio, And the Ohio Arts Council for this grant!
