Inclusivity Arts

September 2016 saw the much-anticipated return of Unlimited, a festival that celebrates the artistic vision and originality of disabled artists.

The 2016 Unlimited programme ran from 6-11 September at London’s iconic Southbank Centre and, for the first time ever, the Festival extended to Scotland with Tramway’s Unlimited Festival in Glasgow between 15 and 25 September.

Australia's leading arts and disability conference from Accessible Arts returned in October 2016.

The 2016 Arts Activated National Conference took place on 20-21 October, at Carriageworks, Sydney.

The 2016 conference explored the varied paths that artists with disability take in developing their practice during their career and how organisations are fostering pathways for artists and audiences with disability. It also provides the perfect opportunity to explore, debate, discuss, connect and galvanise the growing culture of inclusive arts practice. 

We were proud to be supporting Arts Activated again in 2016, which included a keynote address from internationally acclaimed artistic director and choreographer, Marc Brew. Marc has trained as a professional dancer in the UK and Internationally for the past 20 years and shared the unique experiences from his successful career.
