On May 1st, HAI launched a new version of its website, www.hospitalaudiences.org, featuring up-to-date information regarding HAI’s programs, our latest publications and a special exhibit by the Outsider Artists of HAI.

Brand new to the site is a searchable database merging the information from our access guides: Access for All: A Guide for People with Disabilities to New York City Cultural Institutions, its update, Addendum 2001, and On the Go: A Guide to New York City Culture at a Discount for Seniors. The database provides information about the physical and programmatic accessibility of hundreds of New York City cultural institutions. Its release comes after months of extensive review and contacting every listed venue. Users can search by name of venue, by borough, by neighborhood in Manhattan, and by type of venue (museum, gallery, Broadway theater). Information is also provided about the availability, if any, of senior discounts.

Also on the site is HAI’s other publication, Live Arts Experiences: Their Impact on Health and Wellness (PDF).
