The national Arts For All Network increases accessibility in the arts for Deaf and disabled people by working in partnership with individuals and organisations to remove barriers.
The disabled-led Network supports arts accessibility goals, plans and actions through our advisory service and network programme. We connect people across Aotearoa through regular online and in-person hui, events, and workshops, and provide consultation and advice.
The Network is a resource for anyone involved in, curious, or passionate about arts accessibility in Aotearoa. Whether you’re new to arts accessibility work or bring years of experience, we invite you to join us.
There is no cost to join or participate in the Network. Find out more about how we are able to offer these services on our funders and supporters page.
