In October 2008, Accessible Arts will be holding an Arts & Disability Forum in Western Sydney focusing on key issues within disability arts practice and the sector. The forum aims to bring people from the arts and disability fields together to share information and discuss ideas, provide professional development and networking opportunities. A fantastic cross-sector learning experience, the forum will be of interest to artists, arts workers, disability service providers, arts organisations, and local councils interested in accessible and inclusive arts programs and practices.

Accessible Arts is conducting a short survey to gather ideas on areas of interest and topics for the forum. We are interested to know what you want to know. Feedback gathered from the survey will be used to develop the program for the forum. We value your input and would greatly appreciate your contribution. Please submit your survey response by 20 June 2008.
