Opportunities that Open Doors, Career-Making Connections, and Real-Life Resources
As an artist, you know that connections can provide inspiration, mentorship, and support. Peers, teachers, and colleagues challenge you to do your best work.
As a person with a disability (or an organization that supports artists with disabilities), you recognize the need for resources that fit your life, that teach you useful accommodating techniques, and give you the necessary how-to’s to present your creative work to the world.
When you join the Creatives Track in the Access/VSA International Network, you’ll:
- Gain access to opportunities – Jobs, audition notices and calls for art, residencies, grants, competitions and contests—all in one place.
- Connect with other creatives with disabilities – A member directory, links to experts in your field, and a peer-driven online forum specifically for creatives with disabilities that includes discipline-specific affinity groups.
- Learn more about your craft – Free webinars, professional development, and mentorship opportunities. Discounts on online courses and trainings and professional convenings.
- Keep up with arts & accessibility news – A free monthly e-newsletter with updates about the global arts and disability world.
