We have a number of accessibility options available if needed and are happy to work with you to ensure that all students have a positive experience with us.

• Wheelchairs available for you to borrow (adult sized).
• FM audio device to assist students with hearing loss.
• Large print materials when requested in advance.
• An elevator from street level to the main lobby (you may need to ask for it to be turned on if we are closed to the public).
• An elevator to access our second floor and studio.
• Accessible washrooms on our first floor and on studio level.
• Pre‐visit materials for students who require routine cues and pre‐planned activities.
• Tactile materials for students who may require them.
• Quiet, family‐friendly space called Art Site with books, seating and hands‐on activities for students that require a break, or a safe and private space.
• Program plan modifications when needed, with advance notice.

If you have students or staff members that require any accommodations, please let us know ahead of time. This helps to ensure all Gallery staff and volunteers are prepared when you arrive.

In any situation that requires accommodation, we are happy to work with you to plan for a successful visit, when we know in advance.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss a student’s needs please contact schools@artgalleryofhamilton.com or call (905) 527‐6610 ext. 254
