Disability Awareness Training

Access Arts runs quarterly Disability Awareness Training for Arts and Cultural Organisations and arts workers

Date: Wednesday 28th March
Time: 10am – 1pm
Venue: 8 Lochaber St, Dutton Park
Cost: $50 per person (invoice can be provided, or cash on the day)
Parking: limited on-site visitor parking / 2 hour street parking available.

Light refreshments provided

Please advise of any access requirements.
RSVP to Genevieve Hinds: genevieve@accessarts.org.au or (07) 3844 5897

Access Arts utilises an action-based approach to disability awareness training. We have developed a range of programs which enable participants to gain a hands on experience of living with a disability. Our training is delivered by people with disabilities wherever possible because people with a lived experience of disability can go beyond the theoretical and provide “real” insights into their personal experiences (both positive and negative) of access to the arts. Participant feedback suggests that these strategies, and the fact that we use creative activities to increase enjoyment and relevance, provide an authentic and enlightening experience, even for those who have done disability awareness training before.

Art work from the new Northside Visual Arts Workshop

The Northside Beginners Visual Arts workshop at the Regional Community Association, Redcliffe has been producing some beautiful art work – please enjoy!

 

A very bright print of blue, green, yellow and red with various shapes and silhouettes – flowers, lizards, love heart, people holding hands in a semi circle.  This member has gone further and sewn buttons in the middle of the flowers, put a material edge around the print and sewn in contrasting colours around some of the shapes.

Community Showcase 2011

This year’s Community Showcase was a wonderful event! Centered around the theme ‘Seasons’, each workshop group expressed ‘seasons’ through various mediums: painting, photography, ceramics, movement, sound, music, action and voice. Thank you to everyone who performed, attended and helped at the event, and assisted in its preparation! Here are a few photos from the day:
