The Danforth Art Museum is a Mass Cultural Council Universal Participation designated institution.  This means we are striving to make the Danforth accessible to as many individuals as we can through inclusive design practices and community engagement.  This goal is, and will be, ongoing and as we learn and hear from our surrounding communities on what and how we can increase access to the Danforth.
