Arts for All
Type of resource: PDF
For many people, it’s relatively easy to go to an arts event but for disabled people in New Zealand, that choice is often made hard by all the barriers that can leave the doors to an arts event closed. Creative New Zealand in partnership with Arts Access Aotearoa has published Arts for All | Ngā toi mo te katoa. This guide provides practical and long-term ways for artists and arts organisations to enhance their access, market their events to the disabled community and build new audiences.
