Kansas City Poetry Slam, Poetic Underground Open Mic are committed to providing events and a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our event locations and website and in doing so adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines.
Guided by the accessibility plan of Rooted in Rights, we, as a community event, are able to meet the following accessibility standards at this time:
We pledge to:
Not use images in placement of text, as to make all information translatable by screen readers
Caption and/or transcribe video and audio content uploaded to our website or social media pages
Vet our event locations to have a doorway sufficient for standard manual wheelchair entry
Provide ample seating with reconfigurable spaces
Ensure that anyone who is hosting or performing uses a microphone
We are currently unable to guarantee:
A scent-free space
ASL interpretation of stage performances
Closed-captioning of stage performances
Entry for motorized wheelchairs
Braille / Large-print
Please submit any accommodation requests via our web form at least 7 days in advance. We will do our absolute best to meet the request and will communicate, in a timely fashion, as to whether or not we are able to do so.
If we are unable to meet any particular request, we are open to collaborations and feasible solutions from the Kansas City community.
