The Cultural Access Network of New Jersey, a co-sponsored project of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and the New Jersey Theatre Alliance, was created in 1992 to assist all cultural arts organizations in making their programs and facilities accessible to individuals with disabilities. The Cultural Access Network is comprised of individuals with specific knowledge and expertise in areas relating to accessible programming and facilities.  The New Jersey Theatre Alliance has a deep and abiding commitment to gaining access to the arts regardless of a physical disability.

 

Since its inception, the Cultural Access Network has been a resource for New Jersey’s arts community to use as they make structural and programmatic changes in order to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). All of the Cultural Access Network’s programs and services are made possible by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/ Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts. 

 

To assist theatres in their access efforts, NJTA provides mailing lists, loans equipment, markets access performances to a mailing list of more than 5,000 interested individuals and organizations, provides sensitivity training for staff of member theatres, and assists organizations in their education of ADA and the development of their long range plans for ADA compliance.
