As part of Arts Council of Wales and Amgueddfa Cymru’s commitment to widening engagement with arts and culture, a report has been published which sets out the minimum standards for welcoming disabled people to cultural venues, along with a supporting series of accessible videos to bring the standards to life.
The Arts Council of Wales/ Amgueddfa Cymru Widening Engagement Action Plan 2022-25 included an action to establish and embed best practice standards for user, audience and visitor experience at arts/cultural venues and national museums. Arts Council of Wales and Amgueddfa Cymru commissioned culture research specialists Richie Turner Associates to better understand why disabled people (including neurodiverse, visually impaired and D/deaf people) don’t attend or participate in the arts as much as non-disabled people.
