Accessibility

The ArtsOpportunities.org Web site has been tested using a variety of assistive technology (AT) software and has been designed for conformance to the section 508 standards. We understand, however, that some assistive technology may not be compatible with every feature available on ArtsOpportunities.org. For instance, certain assistive technology does not recognize a command to close an instance of the browser (i.e., a pop-up window). When this happens, use the Windows shortcut key combination Alt-F4 to close the window. In addition, since the ArtsOpportunities Web site provides links to many Web sites that are not created or maintained by The Center for Arts Management and Technology, it is possible that a site reached through the ArtsOpportunities Web site would not be accessible to persons with disabilities.
