Cultural Access Collaborative is dedicated to ensuring that arts and culture are accessible to everyone. Their mission is to help Illinois’ cultural spaces become more inclusive for visitors with disabilities by providing resources, support, and information. Representing a wide range of institutions—from theaters to zoos—CAC works to make experiences better for guests, collaborators, and employees alike. Their Access Calendar serves as a hub for accessible events, allowing visitors to easily find cultural activities that prioritize inclusivity. Through ongoing professional development sessions and partnerships like the one with Great Lakes ADA, CAC is making a lasting impact on cultural accessibility. Their collection of recorded programs, featuring expert leaders in the field, is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in advancing arts and accessibility. This ever-expanding library can be accessed online through their website and YouTube channel—an essential tool for creating more inclusive cultural spaces across Illinois and beyond.
