Arts and disability is an overview phrase, which includes a broad range of arts practice, embracing artwork by people with disabilities and activities involving disabled people as artists, participants and audience members. The approach aims to involve all sections of the community on an equal basis, making no differentiation between disabled and non-disabled participants.
A core element of the Arts Ability Programme is to develop relationships and programmes with organisations involved in supporting people with intellectual and physical disability. These include information sharing, mentoring and training opportunities for care workers and artists; outreach and residency programmes and the COPE and Co-Action Workshop Programme at WCAC.
