There are only 12 days to go to our Arts Activated Conference, Tuesday 20 - Wednesday 21 September at Carriageworks. We are happy to announce that the conference will be opened by Senator the Honourable Mitch Fifield, Minister for the Arts. We look forward to the Minister's welcome that draws on his previous portfolio as the Minister for Disability, and hearing about his support to increase access and participation in the arts for people with disability.

In her promotional video, Sarah Houbolt our Strategic Projects Manager, talks about the diverse presentations of our premiere biennial arts and disability conference across the two-day event.

Arts Activated showcases the accomplishments of people with disability, as leaders, arts practitioners, audience and advocates, alongside best practice initiatives from arts and culture industry. It has established itself as the must attend event for those interested in innovative practice and inclusive arts and disability programs.
