The representation of people with disability on our screens, stages and in gallery spaces raises awareness of the creative work produced by d/ Deaf and disabled artists and artsworkers. It reflects the diversity of Queensland communities and helps challenge misunderstanding around disability.
Raising the profile of quality disabled-led work, including ensuring its presence in key marketplaces, will support the careers of artists with disability and grow new audiences and markets for their work.
Actions in this priority area focus on increasing the profile and demand for professional arts work by d/Deaf and disabled Queensland artists and arts workers.
Key actions
- Partner with Queensland’s leading arts and cultural institutions and companies to elevate disabled-led work and programming
- Grow touring opportunities that connect schools, communities and audiences in regional Queensland with the work and stories of d/Deaf and disabled professional artists and companies
- Celebrate and promote Queensland disabled-led work that can grow audiences and markets nationally and internationally
