After a year working behind the scenes, we are excited to share that the DCDL's latest project, the Deaf Creator Collective, is now live!

The Deaf Creator Collective is a first-of-its-kind statewide public catalog designed to amplify Deaf voices, strengthen authentic representation, and make it easier for organizations, educators, libraries and communities to discover, connect, and collaborate with Deaf content creators and experts. 

Deaf creators have always been here. Now there’s a dedicated place to find them.

The Deaf Creator Collective is a growing public catalog that includes Deaf, DeafBlind, DeafDisabled, hard of hearing, late-deafened, and CODA creators who proudly represent Deaf culture and are ready to collaborate. The Collective is designed to make it easier for educators, libraries, organizations, event planners, community members, and ASL learners to find and support Deaf artists, storytellers, and experts.

If you are looking to connect with Deaf creators, you can start browsing here: http://www.marylanddcdl.org/deaf-content-creators-2

If you are a Deaf content creator, or know someone who should be featured, we invite you to join the Collective to amplify your reach: http://www.marylanddcdl.org/deaf-content-creators

We are growing the Collective and will add new creators over time.

Thank you for helping us celebrate Deaf culture and the creators shaping it! 

With appreciation,
