Creative Programs Network

Creative Programs Network 2012

Accessible Arts supports Disability Services involved in the development, implementation and evaluation of creative programs. Leadership in service delivery, information sharing and discussion is supported through a network of service providers who meet on a regular basis.

Quarterly meetings create a forum to discuss common issues and challenges. Information about the varying programs and facilities available in the sector is shared in an exchange of experience and knowledge. Attendance at meetings is open to managers, coordinators, arts workers or other relevant personnel responsible for the delivery of creative programs within Disability Services.

Meetings are hosted by Disability Services and facilitated by Accessible Arts. The host Disability Service delivers a presentation about their creative arts program, purpose and overall vision of their service. Key topics and a roundtable discussion is facilitated by Accessible Arts based on a range of issues decided on by the group.

Current members include FRANS, Mary McKillop, Disability Services Australia, Autism Spectrum, Studio Artes, Inala, Miroma, The Ella Centre, Junction Works, Sunnyfield, Rozelle Neighbourhood Centre, Sunshine Homes, Northcott Disability, North West Disability Services and independant arts workers.
