ADF – Mission Statement

The Arts & Disability Forum is a disabled-led development agency working towards cultural equity; delivering a cross-border arts grant scheme alongside a range of challenging and innovative exhibitions, and events, plus access, education and inclusion activity:

• the lead organisation for Arts & Disability in Northern Ireland, with strong partnerships in NI, the RoI and throughout the UK;
• the driving force towards a culture where disabled people can be involved in the arts… in the manner and at the level of their choice.
• an advocate and artistic catalyst for arts organisations in Northern Ireland, encouraging positive change that benefits disabled people.

Following the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 ADF considers 'disability' to mean:
“A physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on a person's ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities.”
