Our trained ADA Concierge volunteers can assist with loaning out noise-canceling ear protection and fidgets. Drop a note in the ADA Concierge suggestion box to help make future fairs more accessible to all!

The Fair has formed an Ad Hoc Advisory Committee comprised of disability organizations and members of the disability community in Marin to address accessibility issues at the Fair. The first recommendation from the Ad Hoc Advisory Committee was to re-imagine the Exceptional Arts category as a Competitive exhibits program that focuses on artistic skills and fosters belonging. The consensus was that having a stand-alone category based on disability was not inclusive. The ultimate goal of disability civil rights is for full integration, so getting creative about identifying ways for folks to participate in inclusive ways is always preferred. In the interim, we welcome our artists with disabilities and ask that they submit their work into one of the available categories; these categories welcome everyone.
