The Cummer is fully wheelchair accessible throughout the museum and gardens. We have wheelchairs available for visitors at the front desk.

The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens is home to the Jacksonville affiliate of VSA arts, an international organization founded by Jean Kennedy Smith to provide opportunities in the arts for individuals with disabilities. The Cummer and VSA arts jointly support programs for exceptional students and adults that engage the human spirit, spur the imagination, and spark the intellect. The Cummer has received local, state and national recognition for its multifaceted educational programming including the 2008 Best Practices in Access Award from the Florida Department of State Division of Cultural Affairs and the 2008 Outstanding Community Partner Award from the University of North Florida College of Education and Human Services. Annually, over 10,000 underserved special needs students and adults directly benefit from these educational initiatives, making The Cummer one of the country's most accessible museums.

Connections, our Educator Newsletter, includes suggestions for adapting art lessons for special needs students with every issue.
