Boise Art Museum

The Boise Art Museum will increase its ability to serve members of its community with disabilities. With an emphasis on the Deaf and hard of hearing community, the museum will facilitate a series of participatory planning processes with consultants, community members, and American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters to identify and test tools to make the museum more accessible. Project activities respond to needs that were previously identified by members of the community and include testing the use of ASL video interpretation for artwork labels, interpretive panels, and audio guides. The museum will engage local arts leaders in discussions about, and implementation of, ways to make arts experiences more inclusive and accessible to all audiences.
