Invitation to attend the Creative Programs Network
Accessible Arts plays an important role in bringing the arts and disability sector together for peer support, information sharing and professional development. The Creative Programs Network has been well attended by industry professionals for the last two years, and 2013 sees the continuation of this network to strengthen creative programs for people with disability statewide.
The Creative Programs Network supports the development, implementation and evaluation of creative arts programs for people with disability. Managers, coordinators, producers, curators, arts workers and other relevant personnel responsible for the delivery of creative art programs in disability services and arts organisations are invited to participate.
Discussion focuses around common issues and challenges associated with the provision of inclusion. Information about programs, opportunities and facilities available in arts and disability are shared in an exchange of experience and knowledge.
The networks’ first meeting will be hosted by Accessible Arts and led by CEO Sancha Donald. Morning tea will be provided. RSVP by Friday 1 March 2013.
