Welcome

This website updates the information contained in the Arts and Disability Handbook published collaboratively by the two Arts Councils on the island of Ireland in 1999. The site has been created for practical use by anyone with an interest in arts and disability on the island. The site provides information about:

• Arts and Disability issues - terminology, definitions, access  
• Arts organisations - resource organisations, arts and disability organisations, arts venues  
• Disability organisations - the main representative organisations and links to others 
• Resources - local government, funding and training bodies
  

The text of the original handbook has been updated by disabled writer/researcher Steven Daunt and edited by Fionnuala Walsh, Head of Community and Participatory Arts for the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and Sheila Gorman, Arts Participation Project Officer for the Arts Council/ an Chomhairle Ealaíon
