As organizations make their spaces more accessible, it is also important to make information about accessibility available to their audiences. Listing access information is a large part of facilitating access.
An Accessibility Guide to Los Angeles Art Spaces will manifest as an interactive resource, map, and guide to art spaces in Los Angeles County created through collective research and public outreach. This work emphasizes ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) accessibility, while including expanded perspectives of what accessibility is in diverse social contexts.
Our goals are to:
Create additional space for the ongoing conversation of accessibility needs
Reflect on and change how we situate ourselves and practices in this context
Provide direct information to support people that are looking to experience art
The guide engages, but is not limited to architectural, financial, linguistic/informational, and cultural/social accessibility.
Stay tuned as this project progresses! 🌱
