Accessibility

MCBA believes that access to the arts and art education should be available to all individuals. Our facilities are ADA accessible and we strive to make our programs enjoyable for all. We are happy to provide special accommodations upon request.

Thank you

MCBA's educational and artistic programming is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant and an Arts Education grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. Additional support is provided by other private funders, MCBA members, and individuals like you.
