Deaf Performing Artists Network

The Deaf Performing Artists Network, a new national nonprofit organization, was formed to make music and music culture accessible to millions of underserved Americans, as well as to create career and learning opportunities in the music business for deaf and hard of hearing artists and technicians.

D-PAN begins by taking an easy, simple step: By creating deaf-centric reinterpretations of music videos using the standard American Sign Language (ASL), enabling performing artists to communicate to the hard of hearing worldwide. In creating these videos, D-PAN will open up a new channel for dialogue with a vibrant, active community who are anxious to participate in music culture at all levels – as creators, as performers, as consumers.
