Speak Up: Arts & Disability Priorities for NSW
Bago Magic Performance Group, Wauchope NSW
The ‘Speak Up: Arts & Disability Priorities for NSW' report is the result of a three year consultation project with arts and disability stakeholders across NSW. It identifies key findings, issues and solutions to promote full inclusion, access and cultural opportunities in the arts for people with disability. This report ensures the work of Accessible Arts is guided by priorities identified by stakeholders in the arts and disability sectors.
Face-to-face consultations with over 500 individuals and representatives from communities, organisations and companies in the arts, disability, government, transport and education sectors inform the strategy. A number of support groups as well as ‘Speak Up' forums in 17 locations in regional and metropolitan NSW were included in the consultation process between 2006 and 2009.
