Have Your Say!
We’re working in collaboration with the Museum of Applied Arts and Sciences to develop their Disability Inclusion and Action Plan. We want to make sure the voices of people with disability come to the fore. We’d appreciate it if you could take five minutes to answer a few questions by 30 April.
Onion Reality on PlaceStories
In collaboration with Front Up, we're continuing our work on the digital archive of the artwork and statements by the Onion Reality artists who exhibited earlier this year in Seven Hills. Meet artist Livonne Larkins who created From Fractured to Fairytale. Livonne’s artwork is also featured in the banner at the top.
Visit to Little Orange
Accessible Arts travelled out to Campbelltown Arts Centre to meet the artists from the Little Orange supported studio. Imogen and Michelle generously shared information about themselves and their arts practice. We’ve written about the experience and photographed some of their work so you too can enjoy it.
