Arts Access Aotearoa connects individuals and organisations committed to making the arts more accessible and inclusive. Through the national Arts For All Network, we provide free information, advice and resources to anyone involved in Aotearoa's arts and culture sector.

The Arts For All Network is disabled-led and follows the social model of disability. We advocate for the rights of Deaf and disabled people to access and participate in the arts and culture.

The Arts For All Network has an exciting programme of online and in-person presentations, hui and meetups for 2026, to keep members connected, share accessibility goals and mahi, and work together to remove barriers to the arts.
