Access All Areas

Access All Areas is a practical guide for marketing the arts to people with disabilities. It demonstrates that access makes good marketing sense for arts organisations both small and large.

Access All Areas was prepared for the Australia Council by Arts Access and Accessible Arts and also contains some information from the Arts Council of England’s Guidelines for Marketing to Disabled Audiences.

The guide describes positive steps that can be taken that benefit both the arts organisation and the disability community. Marketing to people with disabilities is about equal opportunity, equal access and the recognition that people with disabilities are valuable members of your audience. Access All Areas not only describes the legal reasons why organisations and venues must provide equal access but also shows the benefits for arts organisations and for people with disabilities.
