Who Can Participate? Exploring Equitable Approaches to Engagement in the Arts

\ Event \ News & Events \ Programme

Join us for another session of the Creative Learning Hub, a supportive and collaborative network that offers the space for critical dialogue, care, and practical knowledge exchange.

Livvy Murdoch will discuss their work on Autograph’s learning programme, which takes a rights-based approach to arts participation. This approach prioritises partnership working, equity and personalisation to better ensure that marginalised communities have accessible and inclusive opportunities to engage in the arts.

Drawing from her extensive experience, Livvy will share insights from delivering programmes designed to support disabled and neurodivergent artists, as well as initiatives tailored for families with children with complex needs. Attendees will be invited to discuss some of the key questions and barriers that can come up when working to create dynamic environments that foster accessibility and inclusivity in the arts.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understanding the principles of a rights-based approach to arts participation.

  • Strategies for creating accessible and inclusive opportunities for marginalised communities.

  • Practical examples from successful programmes for disabled and neurodivergent artists.

  • Insights into supporting families with children with complex needs in arts initiatives.

ABOUT

The Creative Learning Hub is a pilot network and part of CVAN London’s Education programme.

We are working towards and campaign for inclusive and equitable arts education, and the promotion of lifelong cultural learning opportunities for all. From early years, compulsory and higher education, gallery and museum creative learning, through to professional development and leadership via informal and non-traditional programmes, we support diverse and expanded ways to access and engage with the arts.

The education programme is underpinned by the Anti-Racist and Equitable Visual Arts (AREVA) programme.
