Now Interpreters In Chicago Are Making Art Accessible

SAN DIEGO, CALIF., October 4, 2019 – Interpreters In Chicago Are Making Art Accessible.

Accessibility is becoming increasingly available everywhere you go. From concerts, to schools, to healthcare facilities, courts and on. Foreign language interpretation, translation, and American Sign Language (ASL) are being utilized everywhere to assist those Limited English Speakers or Deaf or Hard of Hearing individuals with the daily communication barriers that they face.

One industry that has been increasing their accessibility is the art industry. More and more art galleries and museums are bringing on interpreters to help with tours, talks and events. We have seen it here in San Diego, California and have read stories about the same taking place in New York City, Miami, Florida, Boston, Massachusetts and what seems like every major city in the US.

Now interpreters in Chicago are making art accessible. Chicago, Illinois recently joined in when The Art Institute of Chicago began offering monthly public tours in American Sign Language. ASL interpreters show the artwork on display and have discussions about the pieces for a totally inclusive experience. ASL tours at The Art Institute take place once a month at the moment but they are planning on expanding that to provide greater access to art education for adults and children in Chicago.
