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 fisafoundation.org/
