The Disability Collective

In a world that often overlooks disabled artists and patrons, The Disability Collective is reshaping the arts landscape through accessibility consultation, and inclusive, disability-led programming that centres accessibility, representation, and creative expression. We are the only fully disability-led multidisciplinary arts organization in Ontario, dedicated to creating spaces where disabled artists and audiences thrive. We are committed to sharing our knowledge and experience with other organizations in Canada and internationally to change the standard of accessibility and inclusivity in the arts & culture sector. True accessibility involves us all, and we can’t wait for you to be a part of the change.
