We promote engagement with the arts at all levels – as professional artists, audience members and arts workers – for people of all ages with disabilities of all kinds.
We work towards arts programmes and arts venues becoming fully accessible experiences for all audiences.
We advocate for inclusive policy and practice which provides real access to all aspects of the arts for people with disabilities, and for everyone.
Arts & Disability Ireland and the Arts Council announce Arts and Disability Connect (ADC) a scheme open to artists with disabilities working in any artform. Artists with disabilities are invited to apply for New Work, Mentoring and Training awards.
