INCLUSIVET: Training Programme for Artists with Disabilities

Action Synergy, in collaboration with liminal and other specialised organisations in the field of disability and inclusion, invites you to the international training programme INCLUSIVET.

From April 22 to June 25, the programme offers weekly online webinars and in-person workshops, combining experiential activities, self-assessment tools, and practical application.

Poster divided into two sections, with white borders at the top and bottom. On the left, the larger portion of the poster features text in white lettering on a bold red background: “Do you want to share your art with more people?” and below: “Inclusivet – Free professional training programmes to support the promotion of artists with disabilities.” On the right side, part of a painting is shown, where expressive brushstrokes form the figure of a woman with a short brown bob haircut. Seen from behind, with her hands on her hips, she gazes at the bright blue sky in front of her. The artwork is signed “Alice Wong, Painting Photographs.” At the bottom right, the Inclusivet logo appears.

The programme is designed for artists with disabilities, as well as people within their support networks, and aims to strengthen empowerment, build skills, and support the development and visibility of their artistic practice.

In a spacious room with grey floors and walls, two women are positioned behind a turquoise table with their backs to us. One is using a wheelchair, while the other sits on a chair beside her. A laptop in front of them is connected to a projector. They are addressing an audience of around 20 people seated in a semicircle.
