The Exhibitions Group (TEG) has announced that ten Access Grants have been awarded as part of its pilot grant scheme to improve accessibility to exhibitions across the UK for disabled people. Amongst the recipients are Clifton Suspension Bridge Trust and Wakefield Museum and Castles.
The pilot scheme awarded grants of £1,500–£4,000 to support practical, meaningful work that advances access to exhibitions. The funded projects reflect the social model of disability, and support a wide range of access-focused activity, including co-creation with disabled people, accessible interpretation, physical adjustments, accessible programming, and staff and volunteer training.
The Exhibitions Group helps everyone involved in exhibition making to connect and create relevant, sustainable, diverse and accessible exhibitions with our training, resources, and networking opportunities.
