Art Beyond Sight (ABS) supports emerging, disabled future leaders of the cultural industry, whose creativity leverages disability unity and power. By addressing barriers to inclusion from multiple stakeholder vantage points, ABS ignites systemic change in disability inclusion and access through well researched multidisciplinary “model” programs and easily usable resources, created with renowned partner organizations and gifted to the community with the Creative Commons license.
ABS researched, documented, evaluated and continues to disseminate new fields of opportunity:
· (1987 - 2000) verbal description, tactile diagrams and multi-modal arts engagement;
· (2000 - 2015) institutional change for cultural institutions, City and Federal agencies;
· (2015 - present) pipeline to employment for disabled artists and cultural workers.
We appreciate your contribution.

Performing artist/model Corey Hill and Ellery St. Players of 373K make a great musical memory, a Queen concert song inclusive: "We Will Rock You". We’ve changed the lyrics to make them full of disability community spirit. We invite you to take part in this team-up moment.
"We Will Rock You" has a beat that goes “stomp- stomp-clap, stomp-stomp-clap”.
Stomp and clap with feet, hands or many of us will just be yelling out the words “stomp-stomp-clap”. Learn to Sign the words “we will rock you” so we are all included.
In past years at the Disability Pride NYC Parade and Festival, Art Beyond Sight with disabled artists from ZCO/Dance Project and Theatre Breaking Through Barriers created an inclusive revamp of Beyoncé and First Lady Michelle Obama’s "Let’s Move".
