Signal Award Bronze Winner Spring 2023! "The Met’s small-but-mighty podcast about art’s connection to wellbeing just won a Signal Award, which seek to “honor and celebrate the people and content that raise the bar for podcasting.” It’s their inaugural year and with more 1700 entries, we’re honored that Frame of Mind won a bronze in the Arts & Leisure category."

 

Our initial post:
The Met Museum is by far one of Annie’s favorite museums because of her love for Art especially during the Impressionist period so when they reached out to us for a podcast series, well… you can only imagine the excitement!

 

Listen to us share our story in 15 minutes where we touched on many topics ranging from the challenges of finding accessible information, to celebrating and sharing Disabled Artists stories and the fact that we too belong in these spaces. There are also takeaways tips for cultural institutions to do better on Disability Inclusion & Accessibility.

 

A very special highlight in the podcast is Annie, a Disabled Artist whose artwork which was featured on the Met’s Museum website front page for its Art & Activism online collection and celebration during the American with Disabilities Act 30th anniversary. This artwork is currently being created into a variety of Disability Pride pins rolling out Summer 2023 on Kickstarter! You can get notified of our launch here.
