Audiences
Arts & Disability Ireland promotes the inclusive experiences for audiences with disabilities. We work with arts venues and organisations to increase the range of opportunities for people with disabilities to experience high quality accessible art.
We encourage arts venues to adopt an inclusive approach to audience development in terms of infrastructure, marketing and programming.
