Art Venue Accessibility

Welcome to the Accessibility Information Portal for Art Venues, your ‘accessibility check’ for art galleries, museums and art spaces across Ontario.

This resource is a new and ongoing initiative of Access Visual Art, AccessTO and Akimbo and aims to provide you with up-to-date and reliable information about the physical accessibility features of art venues.

The button to the left indicates information available from a survey filled out by the venue. By tapping the button you will see images and a more extensive report.

Site visit assessments are also available for some venues and are indicated by a PLUS icon.
