In 1991, a group of Boston-area theatre companies under the name Theatre Access Consortium initiated regular meetings to share information about accessibility program procedures and policies. When Theatre Access Consortium disbanded, Judy Berk, an original member, founded Cultural Access Consortium in 1998 to address the growing accessibility needs not only of theatres, but of other cultural institutions as well. C A C, a 501c3 corporation, has since established itself as a thriving community-based organization inspired by the vision of a world where everyone participates fully in the cultural life of our communities.
C A C benefits from the guidance of a diversity of stakeholders. Its Board consists of leading professionals from local businesses, cultural institutions, and community advocacy agencies. Advisory groups consisting of members from the blindness, Deaf, Deaf-Blind, and physically-challenged communities also contribute to the development of C A C programming and services.
