Artlink has a 40 year history of removing barriers to participation, supporting innovation in the arts in collaboration with disabled people and the systems that support them.
Our creative work supports transformational learning where involvement in the arts creates a space where diversity is celebrated and respected, and where long term involvement in creative activity offers new perspectives on lived experiences. It provides exciting new ways of experiencing and seeing the world around us and creates new possibilities for shared action.
Over many years we have acquired a deep understanding of the complexities that are faced by disabled people in their everyday lives. We work with the individual, their families, carers and those working in communities, education, health and social care to creatively explore their potential so that we can all benefit from the new possibilities that creative processes bring. The process is where the transformational experiences happen and where new ways of understanding the impacts of this creative work occur.
