New Harmony Clay Project (“NHCP”) is firmly committed to fostering an inclusive environment that provides equal access and opportunity for individuals with disabilities in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA), Sections 503 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Fair Housing Act (FHA) and applicable state and local laws.  

Both the ADA and the ADAAA acknowledge that visible and invisible barriers, as well as exclusionary practices, may discriminate against qualified individuals with disabilities in both educational and employment settings. As NHCP moves towards achieving and maintaining universal accessibility in both the physical and virtual studio spaces, its policy is to make every effort to assist students, employees, artists in residence, volunteers, and visitors who request reasonable accommodations. It may be a violation of federal or state law, as well as NHCP policy, to refuse such requests unless the proposed accommodations would pose an undue hardship or a direct threat to others.

Questions regarding accessibility or accommodations may be addressed to NHCP staff or emailed to nhclayproject@gmail.com.
