TradeMark Media Partners with Austin Museum of Art for 2009 AIR Interactive, Wins People's Choice Award

March 17, 2009 |

TradeMark Media partnered with the Austin Museum of Art in the 2009 AIR Interactive competition and won the People's Choice award. The competition was organized by Knowbility.

The AIR Interactive competition is part of the SXSW Interactive festival. The TradeMark team had one month to develop an accessible Web site for the Austin Museum of Art. The site was then voted on by a panel of judges as well as attendees of the SXSW Interactive festival. TradeMark Media and AMOA accepted the honor at the awards ceremony, which was held on Tuesday, March 17th.

"We were honored to partner with AMOA to create an accessible site where all audiences can come and connect with artists and their art in an interactive way," said Jean Conover, TradeMark Media's Director of Business Development. "We believe in the mission of Knowbility and are passionate about making accessibility a priority in our work."

Until the site can officially be made live, it can be viewed at http://amoainteractive.trademarkmedia2.com.

About Knowbility

Knowbility's mission is to support the independence of children and adults with disabilities by promoting the use and improving the availability of accessible information technology. We envision a world of barrier-free information technology in which children, youth, and adults with disabilities have greater options to learn, work, and fully participate as producers and consumers in the information marketplace. There are currently over 55 million Americans with disabilities -and over 750 million people worldwide- who are excluded from participating in activities many of us take for granted because readily-available assistive technologies and accessible design techniques are not utilized effectively. This group represents over $1 trillion in aggregate income, and as our population ages, this new "digital divide" will swell to include tens of millions more people than today.

About the Austin Museum of Art

With two locations to welcome our city and its visitors, the Austin Museum of Art presents an array of art experiences in the fun, informal, and collaborative spirit of Austin. As a community-oriented museum, AMOA reflects the character and vibrancy of our city.
