ONCA strives to be an accessible and inclusive organisation where everybody is welcome, regardless of age, ability, gender or background.
Accessibility & Inclusion at ONCA
At ONCA, we try to cater for everybody’s access and participation needs by:
- Hosting events tailored to the needs of participants of a wide range of ages and abilities
- Encouraging and working with exhibiting artists and partners to make their projects as inclusive and accessible as possible
- Encouraging practitioners to offer concessions tickets for unemployed, low-waged, senior members and marginalised groups
We ask that all hirers of the venue adhere to ONCA’s policies and guidance on accessibility, diversity and inclusion. For more information, please read our Diversity & Inclusion Policy below.
