About Business

Surveyed August 2010 by NW ADA Center Oregon  

The John G. Shedd Institute for the Arts is both a building and a performing arts organization. We offer year-round concerts and cultural events; run a community music and dance school; and rent the facilities out to other non-profit and cultural organizations. Our building is a 65,000 square foot former church in downtown Eugene, which is now fully physically accessible. Our concert halls have assisted hearing devices. Our music school is fully inclusive serving youth and adults of all abilities. We can tailor lessons and classes to meet the needs and interests of individual students. To discuss how we can best include a student with special learning styles and interests, please contact Ginevra Ralph, Director of Education, at 541-434-7002.

Jim Rawls 04/04/2010

I have attended music festivals at the Shedd for 8 years. As a blind person, I need to know that i can ffunction in a new facility, and the people at the Shedd made sure I can. Example, 1. The coordinator made sure I had all materials, by rewriting the itinerary, so it would read on my computer with my screen reader. 2. A volunteer met me when I arived to make sure that I got to where i needed to go. 3. At every rehearsal, someone was there to make sure I was ok and had what I needed. 4. All volunteers were eager to help me in any way, at meals, just getting around the Shedd, and I haven't ever felt lost or confused while there. 5. the choir director made sure I had all music materials, and even took the time to help me with a song by dictating words to me so i could Braille them for my use, and that was done on her own time by the way. the Shedd is a great place, and any visually challenged, or visually disabled, or whatever the trendy words of the week are, can feel righthome there, and enjoy any adtivity there. I would recommend it to anyone. Jim Rawls, Covina California
