Accessibility

The Festival of Live Digital Art believes in access to content for everyone, and we are committed to providing a variety of access options during the festival.

We’re working on our 2024 Access Guide – contact our Access Team at access@spiderwebshow or 1-877-FOLDA-24 (1-877-365-3224) for more information or check back on April 29th!

All in person events are wheelchair accessible unless otherwise noted, with wheelchair accessible bathrooms. 

ASL interpretation, captioning, description, visual guide services and relaxed environments are offered for different events during the festival, both in person and online.

Personal support workers and service animals are welcome at all events and performances.

Check out the Folda Access Table, where you can find all sorts of items you can borrow to support your comfort and access.

Please note: This page will be regularly updated as accessibility events and features are added and confirmed. Stay up to date by signing up for our Access Newsletters below.
