At BARN, accessibility is a priority. We understand people with disabilities have different needs, and we are committed to providing reasonable accommodations to help you participate.
We understand that time and cost can be barriers to participation. That’s why we’re expanding our scheduling options and encourage you to explore our financial aid if needed.
Mobility
BARN has van-accessible parking, an elevator, and wheelchair-friendly entrances, hallways, and restrooms. If you need a wheelchair, please ask to borrow one at the front desk.
If you need further accommodation to access a class or event, email accessibility@bainbridgebarn.org.
Audio/Visual Accommodation
The Culinary Arts Studio, Jewelry & Fine Metals Studio, Fiber Studio, and Tech Lab all have task cameras and TV screens to help make demonstrations easier to see.
BARN is currently looking to upgrade our audio support equipment. We have a portable sound amplification system that can be requested for any class or event.
Please request audio/visual support by emailing accessibility@bainbridgebarn.org at least ten days beforehand.
Other Accommodations
BARN can provide accommodations such as having an extra volunteer or trained companion in the studio and adjustments to the room to make access or activities easier. Let us know what you need to attend a class or event at least ten days before the start date, and we will do our best to help. Contact us at accessibility@bainbridgebarn.org.
Get Involved
We value your feedback about accessibility. Whether you have personal experiences or innovative ideas, please share them with us at accessibility@bainbridgebarn.org.
The IDEA Committee is a group of BARN Members and Staff who address issues of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Access. We invite you to join us in our mission to make BARN a more welcoming space. Please contact us at belong@bainbridgebarn.org to share your thoughts or volunteer for the committee.
Are you a paraprofessional who is interested in becoming a paid companion? Our opportunities vary depending on requests. For more details on becoming a companion, please email accessibility@bainbridgebarn.org.
