WHAT I DO
Creating accessible services for cultural venues is our passion. We work to normalize sensory integration techniques through creative approaches that make the arts more enjoyable to all.
For example...
Sensory-friendly performances
Services for patrons who are blind or low vision
Services for patrons who are deaf or hard of hearing
Volunteer training and cultural accessibility basics
Services for patrons who identify as being on the spectrum
WHO I AM

Chuck Gruman is an Arts Manager and Advocate. As a person with Sensory Processing Disorder, her mission is to combine her stage and production management experience to consult and create relaxed and sensory-friendly programming for cultural events. Chuck was raised in Singapore, studied Design and Production at Interlochen Arts Academy, and holds a degree in International Arts Management with a specialization in Creative Industries from Columbia College Chicago.
