When it comes to the inclusive practice of disability arts, we can all do a little better. It is not through a lack of well-versed support – largely the arts are an empathetic sector that champions diversity – rather, it is most often a case of resources.
Disability access and inclusive disability-led programming and policy do not always sit high on the priority list when rolling out cash when there are performance and exhibitions to put on, festivals to mount and other programs barking for attention. But such excuses are no longer valid if organisations choose to be truly inclusive.
