ACCESS INFORMATION
Information about our venueOur gallery space is located in a basement, with 12 concrete steps leading into the space. We have a stairlift installed for visitors who may require assistance to access the space, and committee members/ invigilators can assist visitors using the stairlift, should you need support.
As we aim to showcase a varied range of art, our venue can change significantly depending on what is on display: for example, the type of lighting, or the level of audio, may alter. EMBASSY has a heating system, and will always provide a range of seating at any openings or events. We aim to provide a description of all known environmental factors for each exhibition or event at the venue in its promotion, but do get in contact with any accessibility questions you may specifically have.
We have one gender-neutral toilet. As our restroom is in a private area of the venue, generally designated for workers, there is no clear signage to reach it. We are, of course, happy for our audience members to use the restroom upon request if required.
For our programme we produce specific accessibility notes for each individual project. For our current projects please view their individual project pages.
Alongside exhibitions in the gallery space itself, we seek to programme additional events both, online and offsite. We endeavour to make all our online material as accessible as possible: for instance, using closed-captioning or audio transcription. Using a trigger sensitive approach, we will provide content warnings for all sensitive works shown.
