Welcome

Welcome to the New Art Center. Below you will find information about our physical building, such as the accessible entrance and bathrooms.

Entrances

The New Art Center has one accessible entrance located close to the 61 Washington Park side of the building. The New Art Center can be accessed via a ramp to the accessible entrance. There is a buzzer to use to reach the front desk, if the door is locked. Once inside New Art Center, the accessible bathroom is to the left of the entrance. 

The map below also shows the location of the accessible restroom.

The Main Entrance is in the middle of the building, further down the driveway. It has a red door.
