This plan outlines what is happening within a selection of ACT arts organisations to promote social inclusion and accessibility. It demonstrates the existing importance placed on inclusivity within the arts community and provides a basis for building on existing initiatives as well as information sharing and collaboration across organisations.

The plan serves the following purposes:

• outline what is happening within the ACT arts sector.
• Provide support and information for organisations to improve accessibility.
• Provide a framework for organisations to report and evaluate their inclusion and accessibility.

The objectives are:

1. Increase participation within the arts sector through participation as audience and active involvement through making, performing and exhibiting.
2. Promote great art and great artists by opening up the mainstream arts sector to people who experience barriers to access.
3. Create a culture shift by asking how we can change aspects of the arts to allow greater access, including content, physical access and representation.
