We are committed to offering meaningful access and services to make our institution and programs as accessible and barrier-free as possible.The main entrance has four steps with a handrail and a heavy pull bar door. The main entrance is also wheelchair accessible with a ramp on the left side of the entrance with no handrail. There is one set of power doors located at the left side of the entrance at the top of the ramp.
Service animals are welcome at the Gallery. There are outdoor green spaces for service animals about 10 feet outside our front entrance to the side of the parking lot.
Sensory kits are available free of charge at the front desk. Kits include a backpack with noise reduction headphones, sunglasses for blocking out light, fidgets, and a timer for time management. There is no need to book ahead of time and the equipment is given out on a first come first served basis.
For those who may be overstimulated, quieter locals in the gallery include the outside courtyard.
