A great new website, itvaccessible.com (Is This Venue Accessible), is now live and focused on identifying accessible music & show spaces in cities across America (and a few internationally!). Founded by a DC-based man with a physical disability, Sean Gray, the site identifies accessible spaces based on criteria such as main entrance, side entrance bathroom, etc. and can be categorized as “accessible” “somewhat accessible” and “not accessible.” Show-goers across the country are asked to identify which venues in their cities are accessible and use the site to share the word.
You can hear the full interview & story from the recent NPR segment The Local Music Scene & Disability Rights.
