Wheelchair Accessibility
WheatonArts is accessible to visitors who use wheelchairs. All public spaces within WheatonArts’ fourteen public buildings are on the first floor and have unobstructed paths, typically kept clear from fallen leaves, snow, and ice. Assistance with the front door in a number of buildings may be needed. All buildings are manned with friendly staff who can accommodate a visitor’s needs.
Visitors may borrow manual wheelchairs from the Gatehouse and the Museum of American Glass on a first-come, first-served basis.

Assisted Listening
WheatonArts owns 5 assisted listening receivers with 1 microphone transmitter.
