Welcome to in
DASH's pilot visual arts programme, Outside IN - 2009 to 2011, saw three Disabled and Deaf artists commissioned, with their work shown in three mainstream galleries. The processes and outcomes of the project were the subject of the Defying Definitions symposium held in December 2011 at the Arena Theatre. For further information on the programme please go to http://www.dasharts.org/in/news.jsp
The wider phase of the programme is now gathering momentum and has been given the name in, recognising that the programme is moving into the gallery spaces and that Disability Arts is no longer seen as an outsider artform.
The partner galleries for 2012 - 2015 are:
the mac - Birmingham
The Herbert - Coventry
The Public - West Bromwich
Arnolfini - Bristol
Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery - Shrewsbury
Each gallery has it's own ideas on how they will approach this project, all of which are very exciting!
DASH is proud to be working with these organisations and flying the flag for Disability Arts. I hope you will join in with this exciting project and if you are a Disabled or Deaf Artist, or an organisation that would like to find out more please get in touch.

We still have lots of work to do 'behind the scenes', ironing out timetables and all the administrative tasks, not to mention getting six organisations diaries together.
More information will be coming out just as soon as we can get it to you.
