What we do


Arts & Disability Ireland (ADI) is the national development and resource organisation for arts and disability.

We promote engagement with the arts at all levels – as professional artists, audience members and arts workers – for people of all ages with disabilities of all kinds.

We work towards arts programmes and arts venues becoming fully accessible experiences for all audiences.

We advocate for inclusive policy and practice which provides real access to all aspects of the arts for people with disabilities, and for everyone.
