Due to popular demand, we’re presenting more sessions of our Screen Access & Inclusion Masterclass in 2024.

Our Masterclasses have been developed in consultation with screen professionals with lived experience of disability in order to address attitudinal barriers and enhance diversity and inclusion. This program comprises two dedicated workshops for industry professionals both with and without disability.

Sessions will be held in Sydney and the Gold Coast as well as online.

ArtScreen is a prestigious program supporting artists with disability or who are d/Deaf to develop their creativity and careers through producing new video artworks which are screened at the Museum of Contemporary Art in celebration of International Day of People with Disability. Discover new works by Sofya Gollan and Guy Morgan.

Now in it’s forth year, this exciting visual art project creates unique opportunities and aims to broaden engagement with, and appreciation of, the distinctive insights and skills of artists with disability. These unique and compelling works make an important contribution to the diversity of cultural expression.

Thanks to everyone who joined us in person or online for our Access Ideas and Insights panel – Build Your Audience.

This expert panel featured Olivia Ansell (Director of Sydney Festival), James Winter (Co-Founder and Director of Brand X) and Janelle Ryan (Accessibility Operations Manager of Sydney Opera House) and was MC’d by James Evans (Associate Director of Bell Shakespeare).

Congratulations to the talented artists selected for the 2023 Accessible Arts and Bundanon Trust Residency Program: Kath Harding, David Molloy, Dani Pearce, Catherine Rogers and Madeleine Stewart.

The Bundanon Trust Artist-in-Residence program is the largest of its kind in Australia, making it highly sought after by artists nationally. For the last six years, Accessible Arts has partnered with the Bundanon Trust to present an annual residency program for artists with disability or who are d/Deaf. The residencies will take place from 16 – 22 October 2023 and will make a big difference for these five talented artists. 

Due to high demand, we’re presenting two more Advance Your Career sessions dedicated to upskilling artists and arts workers with disability or who are d/Deaf on generating Access Riders.

In these free online workshops, Michelle Teear will provide a practical overview of what an Access Rider is, how to write one, what to ask for and the kind of language to use. It will cover the rights of people with disability or who are d/Deaf, self-advocacy and negotiating reasonable adjustments.
