Congratulations to the 14 skilled participants who have been selected for Front & Centre 2023 – a career coaching and professional development program for women and non-binary people with disability working in the arts, creative and cultural sectors across NSW, the ACT, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania. 
This 10-month program aims to increase the representation of women and non-binary people with disability in leadership positions such as artistic directors, board members and senior positions in programming and management.

Due to high demand, we will be running another online workshop with an Arts Law Solicitor to discuss your rights as an artist. Discover how to protect your work, where to get help if you need it and what happens when you make art with other artists. This session uses practical examples, case studies from artists’ experiences and hypothetical scenarios to help artists understand copyright, intellectual property and other relevant legal issues.

Join our first Access Ideas and Insights quarterly panel discussion for 2023, presented both in person and online.

Learn from some of Sydney’s leading artists with disability as they discuss how the pandemic has shifted how we create and experience performance-based art. From comedians and actors to dancers and playwrights, this exciting line-up features professional artists across multiple artforms and will provide insights into the latest innovations of the performing arts industry.

To celebrate International Day of People with Disability and in conjunction with the opening of the new building at the Art Gallery of NSW, we will be hosting an Accessible Arts Community Celebration on Wednesday 7 December at the gallery.

This full day of free and creative events provides an opportunity for you to connect with other artists, delve into their practice and join in our final Access Ideas and Insights panel for the year as we discuss Innovations in Creative Access.

Join us for an expert panel discussion at the Art Gallery of NSW new building on Wednesday 7 December.
