Shape Arts is a disability-led arts organisation which works to improve access to culture for disabled people by providing opportunities for disabled artists, training cultural institutions to be more open to disabled people, and through running participatory arts and development programmes.
Shape's programmes are:
Adam Reynolds Memorial Bursary
NDACA (the National Disability Arts Collection and Archive)
Unlimited co-delivered with Artsadmin
In addition to this, we provide access auditing and training services to arts organisations. Working across the UK and internationally we deliver consultancy that works towards the improvement of cultural services for all disabled people. We find organisations who engage with us are better equipped and more confident in welcoming and working with diverse groups of all kinds, whether as participants, employees or artists.
