Want to make a living from your art? Fed up of u-turns and dead-ends? Ever wish you could get some really useful advice from an arts expert who is dedicated to working with disabled and Deaf people?
As a disabled-led organisation, we are experts in the needs of disabled people. We recognise that it is difficult to build a career in the arts and that disabled and Deaf people may often face additional barriers. Whilst there is no easy route for guaranteed success, we are here to help guide you in the right direction.
We recognize the power of the arts as a tool for social and cultural change and that art from a disability perspective can change minds. We want to celebrate the high quality, innovative work produced by disabled people. Whether you make art that is informed by your identity as a disabled or Deaf person or whether you wish to be seen as an artist first, we are here to bring people together, remove barriers and ensure equal access for all.
