Accessible Arts

The International Organization on Arts and Disability

About Us

Our Mission

 To unlock the arts for children with disabilities and advocate access to the arts.

We are guided by four essential principles:

  • Every young person with a disability deserves access to a high quality, inclusive arts learning experience.
  • All artists in schools and art educators should be prepared to include students with disabilities in their instruction.
  • All children, youth, and adults with disabilities should have complete access to cultural facilities and activities.
  • All individuals with disabilities who aspire to careers in the arts should have the opportunity to develop appropriate skills.
