Disability Arts History Australia

On this page, we share records of arts organisations who have been working to increase education, employment, and career opportunity for Disabled artists in Australia from the 1960s onwards.

These records document the history of these arts, media, and cultural organisations, including an increasing volume of practice in the 2000s, as momentum towards the launch of Australia's first National Arts & Disability Strategy (2009) was building.

There are over 1250 documents, and over 350 links to organisation's historical websites through the National Library of Australia's Trove or the Internet Archive.
