Join us to celebrate the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting event at our Inclusion Partner, Stony Point Art Studio at their newest location in Fairport, NY!

Rochester Accessible Adventures is happy to be partnering with NYPA and the NYS Canal Corporation for the Accessibility Education Program — which is expanding the inclusion of people with disabilities across NYS’s On the Canals programs.

One of our Inclusion Partners with this program is Stony Point Art Studio, and on January 10th, we will be celebrating their opening at their newest location in Fairport NY. As you will see, the interior of this new studio has been intentionally designed for inclusion of people with disabilities in all art programming. We are thrilled to watch Jeannine’s plans roll out as she moves towards fully inclusive creative arts programming along the Erie Canalway!

While also offering a flexible space that is accessible and accommodating.”
