Tuesday 15 July from 1pm to 2pm

A free series of expert-led discussions providing artists, creative practitioners and arts workers with practical guidance on meeting good practice standards.

Join this session to learn how to foster accessibility in the arts, ensuring inclusive, meaningful engagement for everyone.

Led by Liz Martin, CEO Accessible Arts, the session explores: 

  • venue, operations and budgeting for accessibility

  • marketing processes

  • artist and event programming

  • collaborative and co-design approaches in programming.

You’ll also hear from Justine Shih-Pearson, executive director of PACT Centre for Emerging Artists, about how they have put accessibility principles into practice. PACT has co-produced an intersectionally-accessible event, Crip Rave Theory, for the past 3 years.

A resource sheet for planning accessible events developed in partnership with Accessible Arts is provided for participants.

Registration is essential. A Zoom link will be emailed to you before the webinar.

Presented by the City of Sydney in partnership with Accessible Arts.

We aim to produce inclusive and accessible events. If you have any particular access or communication needs, please contact Teik Kim Pok, cultural projects coordinator on 0436 607 274 or tpok@cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au.
