Years of experience in new artist resource
A new online resource produced by Accessible Arts, shares years of experience from artists who have achieved successful careers in the Arts, despite barriers than can exist surrounding access and disability.
The Artist Resource offers professional development information, networks and links to established resources as well as content that addresses the diverse access needs of artists who experience disability.
In a series of interviews, artists such as dancer/performer Kiruna Stamell (Moulin Rouge, Life's Too Short), filmmaker Dave Carter (How to Lose Weight in 60 Seconds) and musician Jim Conway (Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band, The Backsliders) describe stages of career development from early influences to current challenges.
"This knowledge gathered together under each art form is of great value to the sector, as well as to the practising artist looking for professional development direction," said Sancha Donald, CEO Accessible Arts.
The new resource forms part of the Arts Advisory Service at Accessible Arts, and will support artists to develop various aspects of their artistic careers. It aims to be a living document in order to remain relevant to the artistic and access needs of artists with disability.
The Artist Resource is made possible through funding received from the Estate of the Late James Simpson Love, managed by Perpetual.
