Accessibility

We pride ourselves on making the arts accessible to everyone! Whether it’s providing more than 14,000 half-price tickets to disadvantaged children, or serving kids who are hard of hearing or deaf with one of eight shadow-interpreted shows annually, we don’t want anyone to miss the chance to explore their creativity.

That includes the Internet experience. The Arvada Center is proud to say our new website is now 100% ADA compliant to Conformance Level A as dictated by the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 and 100% compliant to U.S. Section 508 guidelines for accessibility adopted by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) of the U.S. Federal government.

The Arvada Center improved our services to those with disabilities through the purchase of new assisted listening devices and a wheelchair ramp to our theater stage. Through a collaboration with VSA Arts Colorado, SCFD and Denver Center Media, the Arvada Center helped to develop the Beyond Barrier Free video to assist in training our staff and volunteers in welcoming people of all abilities.
