Accessibility & Inclusion

Oceanside Art Collective is committed to creating an inclusive, welcoming experience for everyone—both in our physical space and on our website. We believe art is for all people, and we strive to ensure our digital content is accessible to individuals of all abilities.

Our Commitment

We are actively working to make our website accessible and usable for as many visitors as possible. Our efforts are guided by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, which outline best practices for accessible digital experiences.

Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we are continually reviewing our website to improve usability, clarity, and access.

What We’re Doing

To support accessibility, we aim to:

  • Use clear headings and consistent page structure

  • Provide alternative text for meaningful images and artwork

  • Design content that can be navigated using a keyboard

  • Maintain readable fonts and appropriate color contrast

  • Use descriptive links that clearly explain where they lead

We also strive to make our event listings, class information, and vendor details easy to understand and navigate.

Third-Party Tools & Content

Some features on our site may include third-party tools such as event registration platforms, embedded calendars, or external forms. While we do not control the accessibility of these platforms, we make every effort to provide assistance or alternative ways to access information when needed.
