This is a great opportunity for artists and organisations to hear a panel of artists with diverse perspectives have a kōrero on access and inclusion within their arts practice, and how they’ve each navigated barriers in order to sustain themselves within it. Beneficial for both organisations and individuals - learn ways to reduce the barriers within your own organisation, how to find a community of artists who support you, and how others have found success within the Performing Arts industry.
