Founded in 2001, DASH is a thriving charity and an Arts Council England National Portfolio organisation. DASH is committed to supporting d/Deaf, Disabled and Neurodivergent artists/ creatives and audiences. DASH is an influential voice for equality and anti-discrimination in the professional arts sector, working in partnership with many other organisations around the UK to challenge inequality and implement change.
As the organisation enters its third decade, DASH is seeking to appoint several new Trustees who can bring a range of skills to its board, in particular, governance; policymaking; equality, diversity and inclusion; activism; partnership working; marketing and HR.
DASH has chalked up two decades of important work with representation and collaboration at its heart. From programmes for Young Disabled Artists through to shaping strategic roles for Disabled curators, DASH’s work has helped to support Disabled people at all stages of a creative practice.
Disabled people remain significantly underrepresented as audiences, participants, creatives, and decision-makers across the arts and creative industries. Under CEO/ Artistic Director Heather Peak’s leadership, and with increased investment from Arts Council England over the previous three years, DASH plans to step up efforts to effect meaningful change in the visual arts sector.
DASH partners and funders include Arts Council England, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, Garfield Weston, and Art Fund. DASH is a member of the Plus Tate Network.
