We have a split screen while sharing this virtual experience so that American Sign Language will be available for all events--live-stream performances and workshops--with the exception of the premiere on YouTube of the 2020 Youth/Community Tellers selected from feed-in festivals at 11:00am MDT. However, that pre-recorded film will have closed captioning. We are hoping to have leftover funding to take the live-stream events and re-post with Spanish closed captioning.
