Accessibility
There is a small lip from the sidewalk into the Gallery. We have a wheelchair ramp that our registration volunteers can put down to transition over this lip so that our main floor will be accessible to folks in wheelchairs. Please let us know when you arrive if you need the ramp.
There will be play stations, refreshments, and restrooms on the main floor. Unfortunately, the basement of our space is only accessible via stairs.
Restrooms are gender neutral, and can be found on both floors.
This is not a scent-free space.
