MDVAP Virtual Gala & Celebration

The MDVAP Virtual Gala & Celebration is the culminating event of the MDVAP Deaf Awareness Month Series 2026. Join artists, community members, educators, advocates, and supporters from across Arizona and beyond as we celebrate Deaf arts, culture, storytelling, accessibility, and community. Centered around the theme, "Deaf & Diverse: Celebrating Black, Brown, and Indigenous Deaf Voices," the evening will feature artist recognition, community reflections, storytelling, highlights from the month-long series, and a look toward the future of MDVAP. This virtual gathering honors the creativity, resilience, and contributions of Deaf, DeafBlind, and diverse Deaf communities while bringing people together in celebration and connection. Accessibility information and additional program details will be announced closer to the event.
