Farewell Morwenna
As the year draws to a close we say a very warm and heartfelt thank you to our Interim CEO, Morwenna Collett. Morwenna has been on secondment to Accessible Arts for most of 2017 and will return to the Australia Council for the Arts in December.
Morwenna has made a huge contribution to the organisation, helping us to explore and define new directions, broaden our networks and build our profile, particularly within the wider arts sector. We know Morwenna will remain a close friend of Accessible Arts and all of our stakeholders. We are currently recruiting a new CEO, and will provide news of that appointment as soon as it is finalised.

FREE event with Dan Daw
Please join us at 'In Conversation with Dan Daw - the Man Behind the Beast', a talk with with acclaimed performer and performance maker Dan Daw on Sunday 14 January at 5pm during the 2018 Sydney Festival.
Dan (who is also performing in Beast at the Festival) is recognised as a leader in the conversation on dance and disability here and in the UK. He'll share insights into his practice and how, as an artist with disability, he pushes boundaries of mainstream performance to shift perceptions and expectations.
Co-hosted by Accessible Arts and Sydney Festival, this event is wheelchair accessible and will be Auslan interpreted - and keep your eye out for an Auslan video about it next week.
