ARTfinder to be rolled out nationally

ARTfinder, an online portal established by Arts Access Victoria to provide information for people with disability about arts activities, cultural institutions and events, is to be rolled out nationally.  

Supported by Federal, State and Territory funding, ARTfinder will provide a searchable facility that shows disability-inclusive art programs and experiences in regional and metropolitan Australia. The rollout was one of the outcomes from the Evaluation of the National Arts and Disability Strategy agreed at the COAG cultural ministers meeting in Brisbane in September 2017.

Further information on the ARTfinder portal is available at:  www.artsaccess.com.au/artfinder. To find out more about the National Arts and Disability Strategy visit www.arts.gov.au/national-arts-and-disability-strategy.
