New funding and more accessibility at Barnes Crossing
We’re excited to share some wonderful news — over the past months, Barnes Crossing has received new funding to make our space and website more accessible.
Thanks to the Bauunterhaltung und Technikförderung der Stadt Köln, our restroom will soon be renovated into a barrier-free toilet — an important step toward better working conditions and greater accessibility for our audiences.
AKTION MENSCH e.V. is also supporting the renovation and helping us to make our website more accessible.
And thanks to the „Hier mit Herz“-Stiftung der Sparkasse KölnBonn, we’re now dancing on brand-new dance floor in our studios!
So many great developments — we’re deeply grateful for the support of all our partners and funders, and we look forward to welcoming you soon at Barnes Crossing.
