NEA Offers Digital Equity Act Webinar on April 18

With the passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Congress took a significant step forward in achieving the Biden-Harris Administration’s goal of ensuring that all Americans not only have access to affordable, reliable, high-speed internet but also the skills and resources needed for full participation in the society and economy of the United States. The Digital Equity Act Webinar will take place Apr 18, 2023 from 3:00 pm – 4:00 p.m. (EDT).

This informational session co-hosted by the Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) will discuss the Biden-Harris Digital Equity Act and how it relates to the arts and cultural field—including the rising digital and virtual needs of artists and audiences. The webinar will be close captioned. If you would benefit from other reasonable accommodation to participate in this grant webinar, send request by email by 5/2/2023 to [email protected].

This webinar is intended for arts workers, state/regional/local arts agencies, arts service organizations, arts organizations, artists, or audiences who may be impacted by the systemic barriers that prevent some from fully participating in today’s increasingly digital society and economy—or working with communities affected by digital inequities.
