Accessibility Policy

Mid Atlantic Arts acknowledges that long-standing systems and practices within the arts sector have led to significant barriers to equitable access and investment for individuals and across communities, including the disability community.

We are committed to the implementation of equitable practices through intentional and sustained focus and accountability. As such, we practice accessibility by providing accommodations for our grants and programming.

Our commitment to accessibility

At Mid Atlantic Arts, accessibility is directly connected to our mission, vision, and guiding principals. We do not discriminate on the basis of disability in access to services or programs or in hiring and employment decisions. We work to meet our colleagues’ access needs and continue to improve the accessibility of our work and program environments. We believe that compliance to the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) is important. Further, we believe creating a culture of access and inclusion goes beyond the ADA.
