Working together to ensure the cultural arts in Southern Oregon are welcoming, inclusive, and accessible to creators and community members alike.
Help Us with Our Mission
The Southern Oregon Consortium for Accessibility in the Arts works with local cultural arts organizations (performing arts, visual arts, and literary arts) in Southern Oregon to develop and strengthen accessibility services and provide education and training.
What is SOCAA?
SOCAA is a nonprofit organization in Southern Oregon designed to collaborate with local cultural arts organizations to develop and strengthen accessibility programs so that everyone can participate
in all that the Rogue Valley has to offer.
Who can benefit from SOCAA's services?
SOCAA’s services are for cultural arts organizations that are
wanting to provide access services, but lacking the resources and expertise to make it happen.
Individuals with disabilities of all kinds who are interested in cultural arts (performing arts, visual arts, and literary arts) will benefit from improved access services in Southern Oregon.
