The Accessible Arts team have been working remotely since March 16.

We’re still taking calls and responding to emails, and we’re still working as much as possible with all our stakeholders to deliver our programs and services.

We’re keeping in touch with our community via e-news, social media and our website to provide updates about the evolving impact of COVID-19 on us and our community specifically as well as the arts and cultural sector more broadly.

Please make sure you stay safe and follow all the recommended procedures in relation to personal and public health.
