About us

Open Arts engages with disabled people of all ages in delivering high quality activities and events across a range of art forms. We strive for disabled people to be seen and celebrated as creative and artistic individuals.
In addition to facilitating disabled people to express themselves creatively, we also produce high quality opportunities to showcase their talents through exhibitions, collaborations and live performances and support our participants to access funding to create their own work.

The mission of Open Arts is to inspire and support the creativity and artistic development of disabled people. 50% of board members and 3 our of 4 staff members have a disability.

As one of our participant says “It’s open to anyone and everyone. Everyone is welcome. An inclusive organisation and I love being involved with Open Arts. The people too are absolutely fabulous.”
