About the event
Art for All is an inclusive art tour of The ACG Art Collection @acg_artcollection of The Frances Rich School of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences— created by an extraordinary group of students from @deree_acg, in collaboration with @lifeis.forall. Over one full year, they researched, curated, and built a tour designed to be accessible for everyone — including neurodivergent visitors. The result? Something we’re incredibly proud of.
Art for All is a year-long inclusive education project born from a simple but radical idea: that art belongs to everyone. In collaboration between Life is for All and The ACG Art Collection, a group of Deree students — from Visual Arts, Art History, Graphic Design and Psychology — worked alongside curators, faculty, and inclusion advocates to build something extraordinary: a tailor-made art tour of The ACG Collection, designed from the ground up to be accessible for neurodivergent visitors and the general public alike.
Over the course of one academic year, students immersed themselves in every stage of creating a real art tour — selecting works, researching, writing, and learning to speak about art in ways that are open, thoughtful, and genuinely inclusive. They didn’t just study inclusion. They practiced it.
What does it mean to truly see a work of art — and to make sure everyone can? Art for All is a year-long inclusive education project, that brought together students, college professors, and neurodiversity advocates to answer exactly that question. The result is a tailor-made, publicly accessible tour of The ACG Art Collection — crafted by the students themselves, for everyone.
An inclusive art tour to raise awareness.
Art for All is a collaboration between Life is for All (AMKE) https://lifeisforall.gr/en/ and The ACG Art Collection, curated by Dr. Polina Kosmadaki https://www.acg.edu/about-acg/acg-art/

This interactive art tour is a new experience of using curatorial methods to raise awareness about invisible disabilities, respect for difference and the need for making this world more accessible to all, starting with education and culture.
Students from Deree – The American College of Greece, drawn from the disciplines of Visual Arts, Art History, Graphic Design and Psychology — worked alongside faculty from the Fine and Performing Arts and Liberal Arts schools across one full academic year.
Participants engaged in every stage of building an art tour from the ground up: selecting works from the collection, completing condition reports, conducting research, analyzing and describing artworks, and developing presentation skills for public speaking. Crucially, the tour was designed with neurodivergent visitors at its center — making it genuinely accessible, not just in theory but in practice.
