Accessibility

Last updated: [DATE]

Our commitment

The RAG exists because people are shut out of things they should have access to. A website that some people can't use runs against everything we work for.

We want this site to work for everyone, including people using screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification, captions, or a slow connection.

What we're aiming for

We're working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. We are not claiming full conformance yet. [CONFIRM THIS LANGUAGE AFTER THE MIGRATION AND ANY AUDIT.]

What we've done

[FILL IN AFTER MIGRATION. Draft items to confirm or cut:]

• Alt text on images, including descriptions of artwork
• Text and background colors that meet contrast requirements
• Headings structured so screen readers can navigate the page
• Every function reachable by keyboard
• Text that can be enlarged without breaking the layout
• Captions on video

Where we know we fall short

We'd rather name the gaps than claim we don't have any.

[CONFIRM AND EDIT AFTER AUDIT. Likely items:]

• Some older images in our archive don't yet have full descriptions
• Some documents in our archive are PDFs that aren't fully tagged
• Content we embed from other services, including social media and forms, isn't fully under our control

We're working through these. If one of them is blocking you right now, tell us and we'll get you what you need directly.

Tell us about a barrier

If any part of this site doesn't work for you, or you need something here in a different format, contact us at [EMAIL] or [PHONE].

Please tell us the page, what you were trying to do, and what got in the way. We'll respond within [5] business days, and we'll send you the content in a format you can use while we fix the underlying problem.

Our exhibitions and events

Accessibility at our exhibitions depends partly on the venue. We list what we know about each venue's access on the event page. If you have a question about a specific event, including entrance access, seating, restrooms, parking, ASL interpretation, or quiet space, contact us at [EMAIL] before the event and we'll find out and tell you straight.
