The Language of (Dis)Ability: access2art 2007
Project Summary
access2art is a program of creative activities and expression developed, implemented and evaluated through a forum of Hills based disability services and schools hosted and coordinated by Baulkham Hills Shire Council (BSHC) Cultural Development Program and Aged and Disability Services.
It involves an ongoing evaluation and planning process and a development stage which culminated in an end of year exhibition to recognise the International Day of People with a DisAbility.
The project has gradually increased the role the participants have in developing their own forms of expression and creative language. The core strength of the program is based on community cultural development practice which interweaves personal development with arts practice, supports its participants in a broader cultural exchange with the wider community and reveals an evolving and dynamic range of creative practice which challenges existing assumptions.
