Cincinnati Art Museum

The Cincinnati Art Museum will expand art experiences for new and existing audiences by developing a comprehensive accessibility audit and plan to accommodate more visitors and better reflect the communities it serves. The museum will establish an accessibility community advisory council and work with individuals in the disability community and a variety of local partners to become a leader in accessibility practices for regional cultural institutions. A robust series of project activities will include a baseline survey of staff, community partners, and visitors followed by focus groups to identify accessibility needs and concerns. The museum will plan and implement a mandatory staff and volunteer accessibility training program. The project will also include a review of the museum's building, website, hiring policies and marketing materials and updating of policies and procedures with the assistance of community partners and the focus groups.
