Access NC

Access NC is a guide to travel site accessability for those with disabilities. The guide "was developed with the special needs of visitors with disabilities in mind and through symbols and ratings, simplifies accessibility information for all visitors with disabilities, emphasizing what can be done rather than what cannot be done". |
Arts Access

Arts Access is an organization whose fundamental goal is to encourage and enable persons with disabilities to have full access to arts programs and facilities and participate fully in the cultural and artistic life of Raleigh, North Carolina and the Triangle area. |
To this end, Arts Access has drawn together a coalition of organizations and concerned individuals who are involved in improving the quality of life for persons with disabilities and who recognize the important contributions of the arts. All of the services of Arts Access are free of charge to patrons of the arts.
