MAPPING VIRTUAL ACCESS IN CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS

MAPPING VIRTUAL ACCESS IN CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS

Summary

Mapping Virtual Access in Cultural Institutions (MVACI) is a project designed, managed, and implemented under the Museum, Arts and Culture Access Consortium (MAC) focused on Disability Community Needs and Preferences in Virtual Access. 

Mapping Virtual Access in Cultural Institutions (MVACI) is a project designed, managed, and implemented under the Museum, Arts and Culture Access Consortium (MAC). It grew out of the COVID-19 pandemic when many cultural institutions turned to virtual programming to continue to reach their community through a lockdown and limited in-person visits. Once cultural spaces re-opened (late August 2020 for New York City), many cultural institutions returned to in-person programming and dropped some or all initiatives to provide virtual access to their programs, installations, performance work, and the art in their space. A goal of MVACI is to identify the elements of virtual access that are essential to accessibility and discover how a sustained approach to virtual access can support the disability community. Furthermore, the research seeks to uncover effective and preferred methods for facilitating access for disabled users of virtual programming.
