"Marcie Bramucci is one of those rare professionals who epitomize both values and vision. Her understanding of and dedication to inclusive and accessible practices is unparalleled. I intentionally seek out opportunities to collaborate with Marcie, as I know I’ll be richer – personally and professionally - for the experience."
- Lisa Sonneborn, Director, Media Arts and Culture at the Institute on Disabilities, Temple University
Accessibility & Inclusion
Marcie believes access to and participation in the arts is a basic human right. Every day, she strives to make her work and the work of others increasingly inclusive and accessible, anchored in the insights and experiences of the individuals who may not already feel welcome or centered in the arts.
