Panel discussion: Arts and Disability – Extending Access at the Kennedy Summer School 2017

This year the Kennedy Summer School is hosting a special event to commemorate Jean Kennedy Smith’s contribution to Arts and Disability. This panel discussion will deal with the issues surrounding arts access and support for people with disabilities in Ireland and Wexford, what is currently available, and what is needed.

Creating engagement in this area will also be explored, not just as participants and viewers but as practising artists as well.

A panel discussion surrounding arts access and support for people with disabilities in Ireland and Wexford, featuring ADI’s Director Pádraig Naughton, poet, painter, writer and illustrator Thomas Martin, Wexford Arts Centre Director Elizabeth Whyte, and Senator John Dolan.

There will also be a special exhibition from local artists involved with CUMAS in the gallery space at St Michael’s Theatre.
