The goal of Project EveryBODY is to create accessible space to celebrate the talents of people of all abilities and connect a diverse audience to promote inclusion – both in the general community and the workplace. This goal is achieved as we provide an accessible space to artists, job seekers and employers, and more generally a space that encourages people of all abilities to showcase their talents to the public whether it is in the field of Art, Film, Employment. Through these events, we continue to build on community collaboration by engaging additional community agencies, artists, corporate partners, and diverse stakeholders to actively participate and support this project.
