In-person offerings are mask-required. Masks will be provided. All programs include CART. ASL interpretation upon request.
BRIC is committed to advancing accessibility for disabled artists, audiences, and staff members. We understand disability as a spectrum, inclusive of neurodiversity, chronic illness, mental health disabilities, and invisible disabilities, as well as disabilities that affect mobility, sight, hearing, and other senses. The main floor of BRIC House has an accessible entrance on Rockwell Place. There is an accessible, all-gender bathroom on the main level. The Main Gallery and Stoop is accessible via wheelchair lift. The Ballroom and Project Room are on the main level and are wheelchair accessible. The event will have a sensory-friendly, low-stim room. Portable FM assistive listening devices are available for programs on the Stoop and in the Ballroom upon request.
