The Imaginate Access Advisory Group is a pilot project to gather critical feedback about our artist development work including the opportunities we offer, the call out documents, our Access Rider and the application and selection processes.  The group will be led by led by Ellen Renton alongside Chris Pavlakis, Emily Ingram and Kirstin Cunningham, they will meet three times between February to April 2024.

The Access Advisory Group pilot was inspired by Irish artist and disability activist Emilie Conway who we met through our Creative Europe project PUSH+.  Emilie has been developing audio-described and sensory tours/experiences called Solid, Space & Sound, which introduce visually impaired audiences to in arts venues and museums.
