The arts and disability resource pack - Shift in Perspective (PDF, 1.43 MB) was launched by playwright, author and director Peter Sheridan on Monday, 13 December 2010, at The Sean O'Casey Centre in East Wall.
The resource pack is the result of a partnership between the Arts Council, Arts & Disability Ireland (ADI), Mayo County Council, South Tipperary County Council, and the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA). It grew out of the partner organisations’ work to develop innovative approaches in high quality contemporary arts and disability practice, and to make arts venues more accessible to artists and audiences with disabilities.
The material is based on three specific initiatives: the Arts and Disability Networking Pilot, the Altered Images exhibition, and an audio description and captioning programme for theatre. The resource pack aims to capture the learning from these initiatives and share its practical application with artists and all who work in professional and community-based venues, galleries, theatres and related arts organisations.
