The national, disabled-led Arts For All Network connects individuals and organisations committed to increasing access in the arts.

We support arts accessibility goals, plans and actions across Aotearoa through an advisory service and regular online and in person hui, events, and workshops. We advocate for the rights of Deaf and disabled people, and we welcome anyone involved in or passionate about accessibility in Aotearoa's arts and culture sector to join us. Resources, events, advice and support are available free to Network members.

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.

This programme is free to Arts For All Network members.
