Aurora, IL – The Fox Valley Music Foundation (FVMF), home of The Venue, has been awarded a grant from the Dunham Foundation to support its Rhythms For All series. This series of programs is dedicated to making live music experiences more inclusive, comfortable, and accessible for individuals with special needs and those who are neurodivergent in the Fox Valley community.
Rhythms For All provides an inviting environment where sensory sensitivities are respected, seating and space are arranged for ease of movement, and performances are tailored to accommodate a wide range of audience needs. The series is designed to ensure that every community member can share in the joy and connection that live music inspires.
The grant from the Dunham Foundation will help The Venue continue to break down barriers to participation, offering programming that fosters belonging, supports diversity, and celebrates the power of music to unite people of all abilities.
