Sense arts and wellbeing for professionals

We support artists, practitioners, creative organisations, teachers and support staff who are interested in making creative and artistic workshops, events, exhibitions accessible to deafblind or disabled people.

Inclusive arts programmes for professionals

We support all art forms but have a strong focus on music, visual arts, and performance as part of our diverse programme.

Learn more about how we work and our impact below, or find out how to make your arts and wellbeing work more accessible and inclusive with our resources and workshops.

Sense arts’ guiding principles

Sense arts strategy

‘Space to be different’ guides us on our mission to make the arts accessible to all, so that everyone, no matter how complex their disability, can benefit from connecting with culture and creativity.

Manifesto

The manifesto is a clear demonstration of the Sense approach and shows how we support people to make connections and tackle loneliness and isolation.

Become a partner

Sense Arts collaborates with a range of partners to increase the number of inclusive arts opportunities available to people with complex disabilities.

If you’re interested in partnering with us, please get in touch at [email protected]

“The team at Sense have been really supportive in helping us to make the programme accessible.”
