Welcome to the Arts Disability Network
Arts Disability Network is a growing community for disabled adult artists and artists with chronic health conditions. The Network offers free support with growing an arts career, accessing funding, and navigating an often inaccessible sector through regular online workshops and training and a resource library. This is alongside community building and peer support, room to meet, share experiences, and build creative collaborations. We showcase our members through Artist of the Month which is a public facing online gallery space.
The project is led by disabled artists, and is part of the Intercultural Roots eco-system. We’re informed by an online consultation and keen to continue to develop according to the needs of the community, so please get in touch with meg@interculturalroots.org or Contact Us if you have suggestions, questions or ideas.
