• "Tutti Ensemble - Holdfast Choir History, Goals, Friends & Supporters 2002"
  Tutti Ensemble Holdfast Choir History, Goals, Friends & Supporters 2002 - reads, in part " The development of the Tutti Ensemble's Holdfast Community Choir seems like magic. It has grown in less than four years from a small group of 11 intellectually disabled people and two support workers at Minda enjoying choral singing as a recreational option, to a diverse group of 60 - 70 singers and musicians. The philosophy of the choir is that there are no barriers to participation, therefore people with physical and intellectual disabilities and members of the community from widely differing age groups and musical experience are accepted and encouraged. Our repertoire has evolved to include gospel, popular and traditional songs as well as old favourites. We also sing songs from other cultures and original songs by contemporary writers"

• ”Bree Hadley, Donna McDonnald (Eds.) (2019) The Routledge Handbook of Disability Arts, Culture, and Media. Routledge International Handbooks. Routledge, London; New York.”
  “In the last 30 years, a distinctive intersection between disability studies – including disability rights advocacy, disability rights activism, and disability law – and disability arts, culture, and media studies has developed. The two fields have worked in tandem to offer critique of representations of disability in dominant cultural systems, institutions, discourses, and architecture, and develop provocative new representations of what it means to be disabled. Divided into 5 sections:- Disability, Identity, and Representation; Inclusion, Wellbeing, and Whole-of-life Experience; Access, Artistry, and Audiences; Practices, Politics and the Public Sphere; Activism, Adaptation, and Alternative Futures - this handbook brings disability arts, disability culture, and disability media studies – traditionally treated separately in publications in the field to date – together for the first time.”

  Accessible Arts and Tin Sheds Gallery- AART-BOXX 2008 Program - reads, in part "AART.BOXX is an exhibition and cultural initiative that highlights the current and diverse art practices of young and emerging artists with a disability. Initiated by Accessible Arts, the peak arts and disability body in NSW, AART.BOXX aims to extend and challenge current discourses within contemporary art by including art practices that are informed by cultures of disability. These artists are a creative force whose unique voices are often marginalized within the broader cultural context."
