Accessibility
GAM is located in a building with universal accessibility. Those who visit it can enter from the Alameda through accesses without steps or unevenness; from José Ramón Gutiérrez Street, through a ramp; and from the parking lots through elevators.
Through entrances without steps or slopes you can reach rooms A1 and A2 (performing arts), bathrooms, information, ticket office, cafeteria and bookstore. Through the elevators you can access the library (BiblioGAM), other performing arts rooms (N1, N2, B1 and B2), exhibition rooms (Visual Arts and MAPA—Popular Art), conference rooms (C1 and C2), Zócalo square and a wine store.
The elevators, bathrooms and information desks, ticket offices and BiblioGAM are adapted for people with disabilities. The parking lot has reserved spaces. Performing arts rooms have wheelchair locations.
Assistance dogs are welcome throughout GAM.
The team that serves the public is trained in the care of people with disabilities, considering physical awareness and communication. Some of them have knowledge of Chilean sign language.
Blind and low vision people can request a booklet in Braille and large type of artistic and heritage appreciation from GAM.
Discounted tickets for GAM programming can be purchased by presenting the National Disability Service (SENADIS) credential at the ticket office along with your identity card.
Part of GAM's artistic programming includes a relaxed function, which subtly modifies the work and room conventions, to facilitate the attendance of people with autism spectrum, learning or psychomotor disorders, with special communication needs or hypersensitivity to noise and/or light.
Since 2015, GAM has held Incluye, an annual meeting for the social inclusion of people with disabilities in the field of culture and the arts. The meeting offers conferences, discussions, workshops and artistic programming, all with Chilean sign language interpretation.
The digital proposals for GAM content are also adapted to formats that include Chilean sign language and inclusive subtitling for deaf people. Among GAM's audio materials for blind people, the audio collection of the GAM 10 years playwriting collection stands out.
