Improving physical and programmatic access to cultural venues for everyone!

"63% of American adults [responding to the survey] would like to attend more concerts, museums, theatre, ballet, and opera performances... Due to inaccessibility issues or social stigmatization, many of these individuals did not participate in or attend cultural events though they had interest."
- Survey conducted by the National Endowment for the Arts

The primary goal of the VSA arts of New Hampshire is to assist New Hampshire museums, galleries, performance venues, and open studios to identify and improve physical and programmatic access for all people.  A second goal is to build audience by bringing together these cultural organizations with the disability communities. We do this by offering either direct workshops when requested or by assisting facilities in finding the trainers, resources and information to move forward in this way.

"Thank you for your help with the accessibility review of the facilities, exhibits, and the Gephart Trail here at the Science Center. Your enthusiasm and eagerness to help us improve our physical and programmatic access are infectious and your very practical approach to solving some of our problems is refreshing. Thank You!"
- Jim Eckert, Director of Exhibits, Squam Lakes Science Center
