Accessible Programs
More Museum for More People
Helping individuals access our exhibitions and programs goes beyond the physical. By breaking down barriers that prevent individuals from reaping the benefits of our museum, programs and collections, we’re creating a more equitable community.
Meet Me at FWMoA
This monthly tour provides an opportunity for people with memory loss and their care partners to enjoy art together. The program is specially designed for individuals with an early-stage diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. Tours are led by a trained educator and explore a different theme each month through close looking and lively conversation.
How to Participate
Tours are free of charge for participants and their care partners and take place the third Tuesday of each month at 2pm, lasting about an hour. Space is limited; please register by emailing [email protected] or calling 260.422.6467, ext. 312.

EnVision Tours
We offer tours for adults with vision impairments. Individuals who are low-vision or blind can explore museum exhibitions with trained guides who will help you enter the visual art world using techniques that do not rely on visual cues or descriptors. These tours are designed for adults. People without visual impairments are welcome, as are service animals.
EnVision Tours are free with museum admission but must be scheduled ahead of time by contacting Alyssa Dumire. Please call her at (260) 422-6467 or email [email protected] for more information.
