                    ArtPlay is part of the Creative City Branch of the City of Melbourne. We offer multi-artform programs and experiences for children aged 0 – 13 years and their families. These are delivered through curated events, workshops, performances, school holiday activities and weekend programs.

                    ​​​​​​​In the development of the ArtPlay program, we have considered what we envision for the future of our activities. We want to ensure ArtPlay becomes accountable and responsive to the access and inclusion needs of diverse communities.

                    ​To make this future a reality, we have created a Disability and Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP). 

                    With this plan, we seek to address and monitor identified barriers for d/Deaf, Disabled and Neurodivergent children, carers, parents and artists.

                    You can read or find out more about the Disability and Inclusion Action Plan in the following formats:

                    Our Disability and Inclusion Action Plan covers the following five key areas:

                    • ​Connecting with ArtPlay
                    • Engaging with ArtPlay Online
                    • Getting to and being at ArtPlay
                    • Being included in ArtPlay Activities
                    • Working with ArtPlay

                    The plan was created in collaboration with Arts Access Victoria and the ArtPlay Disability and Inclusion Advisory Group. This Advisory Group alongside the ArtPlay Access and Inclusion Working Group will work together to check that the actions of this plan take place and will note their impact. 

                    ArtPlay values community feedback in our access and inclusion work and we encourage you to share your thoughts and experiences to ensure our continued improvement.
