The BCAA Convening, which aims to propel Baltimore toward becoming the City of Accessible Arts, is hosted by MICA in partnership with the Exhibition Development Seminar (EDS), Office of Accessibility and Disability Services (ADS), and the Office of Exhibitions.

As part of celebrating MICA’s Bicentennial, the convening seeks to envision the institute’s future by fostering meaningful conversations about accessibility. The convening will include a presentation by EDS on their practices in accessible exhibition design and public programming, as implemented in the Rooted/Growing exhibition, and a brief overview of MICA's Office of Accessibility & Disability Services (ADS)'s diverse programs aiming to support students with disabilities and facilitate an accessible learning environment at MICA. The event will also feature a presentation by artist Joseph “Joe” Taylor, who graduated from General Fine Arts in 2025.

The convening is open to all and will also be available on Zoom. Before the event, a guided tour of EDS ’26 exhibition Rooted/Growing at the Decker Gallery, Fox Building, is scheduled for 3 pm.
