BUILDING A MOVEMENT:
Pittsburgh’s Arts and Culture
Community Embracing Accessibility
and Inclusion of People with
Disabilities
Do you know someone who loves the arts
but stopped going because they couldn’t
see the stage, read the program or hear the
dialogue? Good news: Times have changed!
FISA Foundation has promoted the
inclusion of people with disabilities into the
region’s performing
arts, theaters and
museums. Through
collaboration with
The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust, the Greater
Pittsburgh Arts Council and the Allegheny
Regional Asset District, arts organizations are
training staff on inclusive practices, changing
policies and providing accommodations to
ensure that the arts are available to all members
of the community.
Most of Pittsburgh’s cultural organizations
now have accessibility information on their
websites. It’s becoming common to find
large-print programs, hearing amplification,
accessible seating, and adapted performances.
FISA Foundation recently released
Building a Movement: How Pittsburgh’s
Arts and Cultural Community is Embracing
Accessibility and Inclusion of People with
Disabilities. The report can be accessed at
