Chair and Executive Director’s report on 2024
This year was one of significant funding, delivery and growth. We increased staff capacity; consulted and collaborated; and planned and activated to deliver major initiatives funded through Manatū Taonga Ministry for Culture and Heritage.
These initiatives, featured later in our annual report, have laid the foundations of a strong future for Arts Access Aotearoa – a future where d/Deaf and disabled artists are valued and audiences can access a rich arts experience; where arts programmes in prisons are recognised as an essential tool in prisoner rehabilitation; and where the contribution of community arts is understood and well-funded.
In an article on The Big Idea website, Arts Access Aotearoa was described as “the country's most outspoken advocates on removing barriers of participation for creative endeavours”.
Through our programmes – Arts For All, Creative Spaces, Arts in Corrections and Taha Hotu – Arts Access Aotearoa will continue to champion equity, accessibility and inclusion to ensure everyone in in this country has access to the arts.
