Our information and advice service is free of charge to organisations and individuals
We provide information and advice to arts organisations on a wide range of issues relating to disability and the arts.
General advice may be given via email, telephone, fax or post. In some circumstances it may be possible to arrange for someone from Disability Arts Cymru to visit your organisation, or for you to visit us at our office in Cardiff. Please contact us at the Disability Arts Cymru office to make an appointment.
We provide advice for disabled artists / individuals on a wide range of issues, including marketing your work, making funding applications and skills development..
We are also in the process of developing a series of information sheets for artists. Please get in touch and tell us what topics you would like us to cover.
The following information sheets have been taken from Equal Spaces: Best practice guidance for arts providers on disability issues. The document was produced by The Arts Council of Wales in March 2008, and written by Disability Arts Cymru's director, Maggie Hampton. Professor Dai Smith, Chairman of Arts Council of Wales, explains that the aim of Equal Spaces is
"providing information and advice for arts organisations and arts providers about practical steps that can be taken to eliminate barriers disabled people still face when seeking to engage with the arts in Wales. We hope that this will provide a useful tool to assist in ensuring against discrimination and enhancing the quality of access to the arts for all."
Equal Spaces is available in interactive PDF form from the Arts Council of Wales' website, on CD ROM and audio tape. They are also committed to making information available in Braille and other formats and will try to provide information in languages other than Welsh or English on request.
A wealth of information can be found in What's On, our info magazine which is produced every two months. What's On is available to all our members via post or email, or can be found on this website. Arts organisations or disabled individuals wishing to market their work may submit information to What's On free of charge. For further details please contact the Disability Arts Cymru office.
