Invitation to Present at Arts Activated 2010
Accessible Arts is inviting submissions for proposals to present at the 2010 Arts Activated Conference, 25 & 26 March 2010, at the Powerhouse Museum Sydney. The conference aims to be interactive and will include creative presentations that incorporate participatory elements.
All proposals are to address the theme ‘Arts - Access - Excellence' and demonstrate innovation, process and practice. Presentation styles will include lectures, workshops and panels. An ‘Invitation to Present' application form is now available to download and the deadline for submissions is 31 August 2009. People with disability are encouraged to submit an application to present.
In 2007, presenting at the Arts Activated Conference increased the profile and promoted the work of a variety of practitioners and performers in the arts and disability sectors.
